DESKi, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled heart echo software company, has launched its HeartFocus education app in partnership with Butterfly Network.

Butterfly Network is a digital health company that is aiming to transform care with its portable, semiconductor-based ultrasound technology.

The Education app, through personalized AI-powered learning, can be used to master the ten essential cardiac views with accuracy within hours, according to HeartFocus. The company will debut the training program at this year’s ANCC MagPath 2024 conference from Oct 30 to Nov 1.

The HeartFocus education app can be accessed with Butterfly iQ3 and iQ+ probes that are compatible with iOS iPads. The company said integrating the technologies allows a simple, high-impact learning experience with gamification to boost engagement and retention of knowledge.

“The AI-powered heart scan is tomorrow’s stethoscope, and the HeartFocus Education app helps place the tools in all healthcare professionals’ hands. We’ve designed an education platform that makes life-saving echoes simple to master, and we’re proud to partner with Butterfly Network to bring it to as many healthcare professionals or educators as possible,” said Bertrand Moal, CEO of DESKi.

“HeartFocus is set to make a big impact in cardiac care, and we’re thrilled to partner with DESKi on this pioneering education platform. By combining our cutting-edge ultrasound technology with HeartFocus’ AI-powered training, we’re breaking down barriers to cardiac care, empowering more practitioners to learn how to deliver critical diagnostics on the spot,” added Darius Shahida, chief strategy officer at Butterfly Network.
