Nicklaus Children’s Health System and Philips have partnered to enhance their cardiac care with the Philips EPIQ CVx and Compact 5500CV AI-enabled ultrasound systems. These systems will automate measurements and strain quantification, reducing quantification time by 51% and helping sonographers reduce exam time for 2D imaging by 20%. The TrueVue imaging technology will aid in interpreting structural heart disease progression and improving communication between echocardiographers and interventionalists. This technology will provide crucial clinical information, increase diagnostic confidence, and ultimately improve procedure guidance and patient outcomes.
Matthew A. Love, president, and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System, emphasized Philips’ understanding of the care goals at Nicklaus Children’s and the unique experience they strive to deliver. He highlighted the importance of recognizing that pediatric radiology solutions cannot simply be smaller versions of adult solutions. Love emphasized the significance of making medical procedures fun and instilling confidence in children to alleviate stress for both the child and their family. Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region Leader for Philips North America, praised Nicklaus Children’s status as one of the top pediatric health systems with high survival rates in the nation. He mentioned that by providing pediatric coaching solutions and AI-enabled tools, they can assist clinicians in delivering exceptional outcomes and giving families hope for the future.
