About Us
Next-Generation AI, Built by a Next-Generation Team
We are an interdisciplinary young team based in the United States and Turkey, united in our purpose to support clinicians with anatomy-aware intelligent ultrasound solutions to help unlock the power of ultrasound in a wide-range of clinical settings.
Our unique approach combines the expertise of clinicians and engineers, creating anatomy-aware intelligent ultrasound solutions, pushing the boundaries of state-of-the-art ultrasound practices, and setting new standards in ultrasound diagnostics.
Clinical Insights
Shaped with leading physicians and researchers
We work with leading physicians and researchers to ensure that our AI technologies address real clinical needs. Experts who believe that human health can be better with technology provide us with the clinical insights that help shape the future of AI-assisted ultrasound imaging.
Prof. Esra Ozayar, MD
Professor of Anesthesiology
“Ultrasound has transformed regional anesthesia from a blind technique into a visual science. Now we are entering the era of AI, where systems can learn from hundreds of thousands of hours of experience that no individual physician could ever accumulate.”
“By harnessing AI, we can elevate procedural decision-making to enhance accuracy, and accelerate the adoption of ultrasound-guided pain relief strategies that improve patient outcomes.”
Gary Schwartz, MD, FASA
Anesthesiologist
Our Values
An oath to ethical principles
In addition to dedication to safety, health, and environmental protection requirements of medical device regulations, we took an oath that we will always be aligned with these set of ethical principles:
Good Machine Learning Practice (GMLP)
The principles identified jointly by The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, and the United Kingdom's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), guides us for safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices that use artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML).
Good Clinical Practice (GCP)
GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording, and reporting trials that involve the participation of human subjects. We strictly follow the associated standards to provide the highest-level ethically credible products.
Declaration of Helsinki
Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects developed by WMA (World Medical Association), first released in Helsinki, is a statement of ethical principles which guides us on validating our technology through clinical studies involving human subjects, including research on identifiable human material and data.
