In this clinical case study, Dr. Martin Chavez details the technical advantages of HeartAssist™, an AI-based ultrasound solution designed to optimize fetal heart assessments. Operating in a busy maternal-fetal medicine practice with over 30,000 annual scans, Dr. Chavez highlights how this tool improves efficiency and diagnostic confidence.
HeartAssist™ for fetus automates the acquisition and labeling of key fetal cardiac views, minimizing the manual workload of sonographers while enhancing image consistency. Dr. Chavez emphasizes that the most impactful benefit is the time saved during each scan without compromising image quality. The automation also enables more consistent documentation and easier review during follow-up consultations.
Beyond workflow optimization, HeartAssist™ also functions as an educational tool—supporting the training of new sonographers by standardizing view capture and helping reinforce anatomical accuracy. Dr. Chavez notes that this contributes to a more cohesive and skilled imaging team.
Throughout the case, real-life scenarios demonstrate how HeartAssist™ improves patient interactions by reducing exam time and providing clearer, more structured cardiac imaging. It allows clinicians to focus on diagnosis and counseling rather than repetitive technical tasks.
This case study underscores HeartAssist™ as a powerful asset in fetal echocardiography, combining AI precision with clinical practicality for both seasoned experts and training environments.
