of cardiac function. The device uses a deep learning model to analyse the continuous image recording, generating waveforms of stroke volume, cardiac output and left ventricular ejection
fraction. The device has an innovative design and advanced material fabrication that improves the mechanical coupling with the skin, allowing the left ventricle to be examined from different
views during motion. In addition, the device can automatically interpret the B-mode ultrasound images using a deep learning model, allowing continuous and dynamic monitoring of cardiac
function in various contexts, such as daily life, exercise and surgery. This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution
