Philips launched its Ultrasound Workspace (OLK) at this week’s American College of Cardiology Annual Scientific Session & Expo (ACC 2022). The vendor-neutral echocardiography image analysis tool can be accessed remotely via a browser so clinicians can leverage diagnostic worflows from the exam room to the reporting room, wherever echocardiogpahy data must be reviewed and assessed.
Ultrasound Workspace’s AI-driven image analysis and quantification tools aim to help boost productivity, consistency, and diagnostic quality. Echo labs can benefit from access to archived legacy data and vendor-neutral analysis capabilities.
“With its new remote, browser-based accessibility, Philips Ultrasound Workspace is the first advanced vendor-neutral 2D/3D echocardiography viewing, analysis, and reporting system that extends the superior user experience of Philips’ cardiac ultrasound system EPIQ CVx into multiple connected environments,” Jeff Cohen, GM of Ultrasound at Philips told the press. “We have combined the power of AI with deep clinical knowledge to create a solution that integrates into the workflows of healthcare providers to help drive efficient clinical decision-making. With Ultrasound Workspace, our customers can experience a whole new world of echocardiography workflow to help improve both the patient and staff experience.”
The solution lets clinicians speed quantitative measurements like left ventricular ejection fraction, growing diagnostic confidence and inter-/intra-observer consistency.
"Philips has been instrumental in moving the field of 3D echocardiography forward. Their software, which is consistently developed with input from physicians, has been a true help for the echo community in general,” said Roberto M. Lang, MD, Director, Noninvasive Cardiac Imaging Laboratories at University of Chicago Medical Center, who has published multiple papers on the use of AI and machine learning in echocardiography.
Ultrasound Workspace can either be deployed in a standalone configuration or integrated into PACS and EMR echocardiography reading workflows.
