In a groundbreaking development, Butterfly Network, a leading innovator in portable ultrasound technology, has partnered with DESKi, a Bordeaux-based AI developer, to integrate DESKi's HeartFocus cardiac exam software into their handheld ultrasound devices.

The HeartFocus cardiac exam software, now a component of Butterfly Network's portable ultrasound technology, empowers healthcare professionals to capture comprehensive echocardiographic views. This software, cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is designed to address the issue of limited access to trained sonographers in cardiac care.

With a few hours of training, any healthcare professional can operate the HeartFocus cardiac exam software and capture detailed echocardiographic images. The software does not require the presence of a trained sonographer, making it accessible to a wider range of healthcare providers.

Butterfly Network's handheld ultrasound devices now feature DESKi's HeartFocus cardiac exam software, transforming these devices into powerful tools for cardiac care. The software has been implemented in the hardware of these devices, ensuring seamless integration and user-friendly operation.

The collaboration between Butterfly Network and DESKi has resulted in the integration of DESKi's HeartFocus cardiac exam software into Butterfly Network's handheld ultrasound devices. This partnership aims to make advanced cardiac care more accessible, breaking down barriers in cardiac care caused by limited access to trained sonographers.

It's important to note that the HeartFocus cardiac exam software is available as an app and also as a software development kit. This flexibility allows for its integration into various ultrasound devices, making it a versatile solution for addressing the issue of limited access to trained sonographers in cardiac care.

In a separate development, Eko, a company known for its cardiac conduction documentation software, has integrated its software into Butterfly Network's mobile ultrasound devices. This collaboration further strengthens Butterfly Network's commitment to providing innovative solutions for cardiac care.

With these collaborations, Butterfly Network continues to push the boundaries of portable ultrasound technology, making advanced cardiac care more accessible and democratizing healthcare. The integration of DESKi's HeartFocus cardiac exam software into Butterfly Network's handheld ultrasound devices is a significant step towards achieving this goal.
