Emergency Department MEDO Lung
Storyboard Description
MEDO will provide a solution for Emergency department physicians. This product will enable them to make more informed triage decisions - admitting the sickest COVID-19 patients to the ICU while sending the others home.
The physician is assisted in acquiring an ultrasound image of the lungs by given immediate feedback as to whether the image was adequate or not. Upon completion of the 12 point scan, they are provided a report of the findings. The report includes the original ultrasound images segmented with findings and quantification of B-lines, and sub pleural consolidations.
Given this information, the physician is well positioned to triage the patient, as was done in Italy successfully for sick COVID-19 patients.
