Enhance ultrasound with Artifical Intelligence
Nhance is a non-profit community that creates free AI tools for ultrasound interpretation.
Nhance : a NGO and a medical community.
Our members are ultrasound experts training an AI.
We work with the Deep Learning Experts of Deepomatic.
- Anonymization We only work with completely anonymized data thanks to the tool we developed.
- Annotation platform Our community of experts annotate ultrasound images on a collaborative platform.
- Computation Engine We use Deepomatic computation platform to build our interpretation algorithms.
- Smartphone app We are working on an app for immediate interpretation of ultrasound data.
Ultrasound imaging : a revolution
Two thirds of the world don't have access to imaging. Mobile ultrasound will change that.
-
A hardware revolution
The hardware becomes smaller, more powerful, cheaper and connected to smartphones.
-
Point Of Care
Ultrasound imaging can be used anywhere the patient needs care, making it the most mobile imaging tool available.
-
Real-time diagnosis
Ultrasound delivers a diagnosis in real-time, making it an ideal solution for emergency medicine
Why is Nhance a NGO ?
We think only a NGO can distribute the benefits of AI to everyone.
- Benefit everyone including the 2/3 of the world who don't have access to medical imaging yet.
- Network effects The bigger the community, the better our algorithms perform.
- No machine dependence We want to build tools that are compatible with every ultrasound machine.
- Non-profit Those who need it the most can access it.
