Signify Premium Insight: Butterfly Network and Caption Health Partner to Encourage Ultrasound Adoption

Handheld ultrasound vendor Butterfly Network and ultrasound AI-guidance specialist Caption Health recently announced a partnership which is intended to simplify the process of image capture and interpretation for a variety of professionals across a range of care settings. The arrangement will initially focus on cardiac ultrasound, Caption Health’s key clinical segment, and follows the AI developer receiving approval for new technology add-on payments (NTAP) from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).

Vendor Impact

• Innovation in the handheld ultrasound market is increasingly being driven by younger, smaller vendors, which will increase pressure on larger, more established ultrasound vendors to update and improve their products.
