MELBOURNE, Australia, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Clear Medical Imaging, a leading provider of radiology services and the second largest independent healthcare provider in Ontario, announces partnership with See-Mode Technologies to adopt See-Mode, an artificial intelligence (AI) software application that increases efficiencies within the ultrasound workflow by assessing ultrasound images, automatically detecting clinical pathologies, and building a complete report. This partnership will be implemented in phases, initially with the roll-out of See-Mode's vascular product followed by the breast and thyroid later this year.
"Clear Medical Imaging's goal is to provide leading radiology imaging services, quality, and compassionate patient-centered care. We are committed to investing in new and innovative technologies that will improve the level of care for our patients," says Manish Chadda, Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the Board, Clear Medical Imaging. "We were drawn to See-Mode's commitment to performance improvements with their AI-enhanced reporting application."
One of the major challenges facing the healthcare industry in Canada is a shortage of Ultrasound Technologists. The workflow efficiencies created through the use of See-Mode at Clear Medical Imaging will assist in mitigating this shortage. See-Mode will assist clinicians at Clear Medical Imaging with the interpretation, analysis, and reporting of ultrasound studies to improve standardization, along with reducing errors and reporting time.
"Clear Medical Imaging's dedication to improving ultrasound services aligns strongly with that of See-Mode's," says Milad Mohammadzadeh, Co-founder, See-Mode. "See-Mode's AI models are able to aid in the interpretation of ultrasound images, removing some of the manual steps from the reporting process. Allowing clinicians to spend more time with their patients and lift the overall performance of the team."
"The detection and accurate classification of clinical pathologies, such as vascular stenoses or thyroid nodules, is critical to determining the treatment our patients require," says Michael Reinkober, Chief Executive Officer, Clear Medical Imaging. The adoption of See-Mode's technology will help us to improve the quality of care we provide to our customer's and the workflow experience of our team."
