“At DeepHealth, we are leveraging the transformative power of AI to create SmartTechnology™ by seamlessly integrating advanced AI with systems and into workflows,” said Kees Wesdorp, President and CEO of RadNet’s Digital Health division. “DeepHealth has created a cohesive novel portfolio of AI-powered solutions that improve operational efficiency and clinical confidence across the end-to-end radiology workflow. With radiology’s increasing role in population health, we uniquely augment and integrate our core radiology informatics solutions and diagnostic AI tools for breast, lung, prostate, and brain health to enable population screening programs at scale. At RSNA 2024, we’re presenting next-generation solutions powered by DeepHealth OS and showing how we can build the infrastructure and ecosystem needed for AI adoption to enable better clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.”
DeepHealth OS – Transforming Clinical Workflows with Scalable AI
The radiology workflow is complex and tends to be siloed, with many different stakeholders using disconnected devices for various tasks and managing disparate data sources throughout the patient care journey. DeepHealth OS unifies data across the clinical and operational workflow and personalizes AI-powered workspaces for every stakeholder in the radiology continuum, including patients, operations, referring physicians, technologists, and radiologists. The workspaces are tailored to the needs of stakeholders, with personalized experiences, secure access to a unified patient view, and provide AI-powered task-specific applications. This approach enhances clinical and operational efficiency and improves outcomes and patient experience by ensuring all health actions are well-coordinated, and the right data is available at the right time.
In addition, DeepHealth OS, with its modular, scalable, and cloud-native architecture ensures seamless interoperability with existing hardware and software.
Diagnostic Suite - Integrating Key AI and Advanced Visualization Capabilities
Diagnostic Suite harnesses the cloud-native capabilities of DeepHealth OS to deliver a cutting-edge evolution of the traditional Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). This enterprise imaging solution is designed to be interoperable, efficient, and highly scalable, offering a unified diagnostic workspace with an image management layer purpose-built for AI orchestration and inferencing. It features a fast streaming viewer accessible from anywhere, which will be enhanced with advanced visualization tools from TeraRecon for an elevated user experience across complex studies.
The Diagnostic Suite also embeds and will extend CARPL.ai’s advanced AI infrastructure for dynamic monitoring and continuous optimization of clinical AI performance and safety, aiming to create a unique AI control system to accelerate AI adoption.
Diagnostic Suite already has its first customer with national full-service radiology provider ONRAD, which was announced earlier.
TechLive - Empowering Operational Oversight and Seamless Remote Collaboration
TechLive aims to revolutionize clinical and radiology practices with a remote centralized command center that allows technologists and other users to remotely access imaging devices (including MR, CT, and Ultrasound) across multiple locations, supporting real-time scanning, support, training, monitoring, and protocol standardization from a single workspace. The solution is designed to facilitate seamless collaboration and resource scaling in complex imaging environments without geographic constraints. The remote scanning solution is consistent with recently updated accreditation guidelines on safe remote scanning operations. The solution has already shown the potential to have significant impact in clinical practice and will be demonstrated at the DeepHealth booth.
SmartTechnnology - Enhancing Workflows and Clinical Confidence
DeepHealth unveils SmartTechnology, a groundbreaking product category that seamlessly integrates AI-powered informatics with advanced imaging systems. This innovative solution bridges the gap between patient imaging at the modality level (e.g., image acquisition with a mammography system) and diagnostic interpretation (e.g., breast lesion detection), which is traditionally performed on separate devices and at different points in time. By unifying these processes, SmartTechnology enables more efficient, faster, patient-centric workflows, potentially redefining the future of healthcare delivery.
The leading example in this new category, SmartMammo™, integrates AI with mammography systems to improve the accuracy of lesion detection, classify tissue density, and elevate generalists' detection rates to those of specialists2. Combined with GE HealthCare's patient-centric Senographe Pristina™, SmartMammo is capable of returning lesion scoring within five minutes of scanning, enabling faster and more reliable breast cancer screening. Such workflows can enable same-day diagnosis and immediate results communication to patients. SmartMammo is also compatible with Hologic’s DBT mammography systems. SmartMammo will be demonstrated at the DeepHealth and GE HealthCare booths.
SmartSonography™, another SmartTechnology initiative, is aimed at enhancing ultrasound-based diagnostics. In collaboration with Siemens Healthineers, by combining their Acuson Sequoia with DeepHealth’s SmartSonography solution, the two companies aim to enable real-time remote imaging support, improve diagnostic precision, and address workforce challenges. Together, DeepHealth and Siemens Healthineers intend to pave the way for smarter, more efficient, and accessible ultrasound care. SmartSonography will be demonstrated at the DeepHealth and Siemens Healthineers booths.
