Challenge:

HearSmart needed to develop a proprietary cloud platform that could record and process diagnostic images of the carotid artery for cardiovascular disease detection.

Solution:

Health Samurai consulted with HeartSmart to discover the needs of their platform, and applied agile methodologies to develop a cloud solution on top of the aidbox.io platform that is capable of recording and processing diagnostic images to evaluate the thickness of the arterial wall and also detect plaque in the carotid arteries.

Outcome:

Health Samurai successfully developed a cloud platform that detects cardiovascular disease for HeartSmart, saving time and cutting costs for physicians by leveraging the power of the cloud. The platform enables recording of ultrasound videos on the laptop and storing files securely in the cloud. Health Samurai applied Machine Learning Computer Vision Algorithms to measure intima-media thickness (IMT) and detect plaque in carotid artery ultrasound scan videos. Automation of the analysis process drastically reduced the time requirements for detection and improved efficiency while preserving outcome quality.
