A Kiwi company that's helping to speed up the diagnostic process for cardiologists has secured its first public health contract.
HeartLab was launched back in 2020, harnessing AI to do some of the more menial tasks that follow a patient's echocardiogram - the test that uses soundwaves to produce live images of the heart.
Not only does it save clinicians time - allowing them to see the relevant images more quickly, advanced analysis can be done remotely.
More than one million patients are now on the HeartLab platform in Aotearoa, Australia and the United States.
The new Health New Zealand contract in the Te Manawa Taki, or Midland region of the North Island will see the platform progressively rolled out in Taranaki.
To talk more about the technology, a new $2 million dollar investment and how the technology is developing,
Susie is joined by HeartLab's co-founder and CEO, Will Hewitt.
