Product overview
HeartFocus Link integrates AI-guided cardiac ultrasound learning, real-time image quality feedback, and guided image acquisition into existing cart-based ultrasound systems used in hospitals and training centers. Intended for medical schools, residency programs, ultrasound education, and hands-on cardiac ultrasound training.

How it works

• No system modification required — works with existing cart-based ultrasound systems.
• HDMI cable plug-in for video capture: a single cable connects LINK to the ultrasound system for video capture.
• Tablet running HeartFocus Link attached to the capture hardware: runs the HeartFocus Link application locally.
• Fully local processing: operates on-device with no cloud dependency and no network required.
• Real-time HeartFocus AI guidance and quality validation during image acquisition training.
• Automatic quality scoring and Auto Record provide immediate feedback during training sessions.
• Simple plug-and-play software solution designed to support cardiac ultrasound learning with a few hours of guided practice.

Core features

• AI-guided learning for probe positioning and cardiac image acquisition.
• Real-time quality feedback and objective quality scoring.
• Auto Record to capture validated scans during training.
• Local operation (no cloud, no network dependency) to minimize latency and preserve data locality.
• Plug-and-play hardware approach (HDMI capture) — no replacement of existing ultrasound hardware.

Compatibility

• Compatible with leading cart-based ultrasound systems including GE HealthCare, Philips, Siemens Healthineers, Mindray, FUJIFILM Sonosite, Samsung, and Canon. Compatibility may vary by system configuration.

Use cases

• Medical school and ultrasound education
• Residency onboarding and emergency department cardiac training
• POCUS programs and advanced practice provider (APP) education
• Simulation labs, ICU competency development, and continuing medical education

Important notes

• HeartFocus Link is intended to support education, training, and image acquisition practice only. It is not for diagnostic use, clinical decision-making, or treatment guidance.
• No hardware replacement required — designed to expand capability of existing systems via a simple HDMI capture plus tablet setup.
