Exo, Sana Kliniken AG Partner to Bring Smart Ultrasound to Germany

Exo is teaming up with Sana Kliniken AG to bring its high-performance handheld ultrasound platform and artificial intelligence to more medical staff to enable real-time decisions that improve patient outcomes, streamline workflow inefficiencies, and lower costs.
 
Exo’s point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) technology has been evaluated and deployed in pilot projects at two Sana clinics this summer, starting in the emergency medicine, critical care, and cardiac departments.
 
“Our two clinics are the first in Germany to use Exo’s solutions,” Sana Kliniken Chief Operating Officer Dr. Jens Schick said. “Our specialists should be able to make decisions about ultrasound diagnostics in real time and treat patients more quickly, especially in critical situations.”
 
Exo’s POCUS solution includes its handheld ultrasound device that delivers powerful imaging at a fraction of the cost of cart-based systems; Exo Works, an intuitive ultrasound workflow solution that streamlines documentation and quality assurance all in one platform; and artificial intelligence and education to make ultrasound simpler, bolstering adoption with new users.
 
“Exo’s partnership with Sana Kliniken AG is another step toward bringing powerful medical imaging to the hands of every caregiver,” Exo CEO/Co-Founder Sandeep Akkaraju stated. “With Sana’s large patient population, diverse set of caregivers, and mindset, we will transform how patient care is delivered across Germany.”
 
Exo is a medical imaging software and device company. The company aims to modernize medical imaging through its ultrasound platform and artificial intelligence. Exo’s goal is to enable healthcare professionals to make critical, real-time decisions that ultimately improve patient outcomes.
