About this episode
Dr. Sookdeo discusses a study comparing AI tools to human assessments in point-of-care echo.
Point‑of‑care echo is fast, powerful—and famously operator‑dependent. Most of us rely on quick visual impressions because precise measurements take time we often don’t have. This new study puts three automated, real‑time AI tools to the test, comparing their ejection fraction, VTI, and IVC assessments against an expert’s read. Join Dr. Sookdeo as she breaks down how well the algorithms performed and what this could mean for the future of bedside echo.
