Viz.ai Launches AI-Powered Modules for Pulmonary Embolism and Aortic Disease

November 16, 2021—Viz.ai, which is focused on artificial intelligence (AI)–driven intelligent care coordination, announced the United States commercial launch of its AI-powered modules for pulmonary embolism (PE) and aortic disease. Viz.ai’s high resolution three-dimensional mobile viewer enables dynamic visualization of the anatomy, allowing faster clinical decision-making and improved care coordination for patients with these conditions, stated the company.

Viz.ai debuted the modules at the VEITHsymposium in Orlando, Florida.

According to the company, the modules are designed to ensure that the right clinical decision is made at the right time to ensure quick and appropriate care. Whereas the average arrival-to-treatment time for these conditions is > 8 hours, Viz.ai’s technology can identify suspected aortic dissection and PE disease in < 2 minutes.

The new modules communicate time-sensitive information, including advanced imaging studies and real-time clinical information, to specialists to make treatment decisions. Users can access all aortic and pulmonary imaging from the cloud, enabling care coordination regardless of geography.

“This technology has changed the way we triage and treat stroke patients, dramatically improving their care,” commented Richard Saxon, MD, in the company’s press release. “In a similar fashion, I believe the Viz.ai PE and Aortic modules will enhance image interpretation with AI, dramatically improve the quality and speed of mobile image viewing, and improve caregiver communication. This is truly the care coordination of the future.” Dr. Saxon is an interventional radiologist at Tri-City and Palomar Health in San Marcos, California.
