Plavno developed an AI-powered platform for point-of-care ultrasound that helps clinicians capture better scans, assess image quality in real time, and receive preliminary interpretation support at the bedside.
Overview
The solution was designed for healthcare providers using portable or bedside ultrasound in emergency care, primary care, outpatient settings, and remote medical environments. The platform combines scan guidance, image quality analysis, AI-assisted interpretation, and integration with clinical systems into one modular diagnostic product.
Faster ultrasound acquisition for non-expert operators
Better image quality consistency across different care settings
Reduced repeat scans caused by poor capture quality
Stronger support for bedside diagnostic decisions
Improved access to ultrasound-based diagnostics in underserved locations

Point-of-care ultrasound is increasingly used outside traditional radiology departments, but image quality and interpretation still depend heavily on operator skill.
Common challenges included:
Difficulty obtaining diagnostically useful views
Inconsistent scan quality across clinicians and departments
Limited access to experienced sonographers or radiologists
Repeat scans caused by poor initial capture
Slower decision-making in urgent bedside scenarios
The client wanted to make ultrasound more accessible, more consistent, and more clinically useful in fast-paced and resource-constrained environments.

The platform needed to:
Provide real-time guidance during scanning
Detect whether the captured view was diagnostically useful
Support preliminary AI-assisted interpretation of selected ultrasound studies
Work with portable and point-of-care ultrasound devices
Integrate into existing healthcare workflows and image storage environments
Remain fast enough for real clinical use
There were also important constraints:
Scan quality varied significantly depending on operator skill
The AI layer had to support, not replace, clinical judgment
The system needed to work in bedside and remote scenarios with limited infrastructure
The platform had to be modular enough to support different clinical use cases over time

Solution
Real-time guidance, image quality scoring, anatomical recognition, and AI-assisted interpretation — integrated seamlessly into clinical workflow
Real-time ultrasound scan guidance
Image quality feedback during capture
Anatomical view recognition
Preliminary AI-assisted interpretation support
Exam recording, storage, and re-review
Clinician dashboard and structured findings support
Integration with PACS, EHR/EMR, and telemedicine workflows
Start the Exam: The clinician launches an ultrasound session on a portable or bedside device connected to the platform.
Capture with Guidance: The system provides real-time feedback on probe positioning, target view quality, and whether the captured image is clinically usable.
Analyze the Scan: The AI model evaluates the acquired image set and highlights suspicious findings or incomplete views.
Review and Route: The clinician reviews the results, saves the exam, and shares it internally or for remote specialist review when needed.
Supports emergency departments, outpatient clinics, primary care, and remote care settings
Suitable for portable and bedside ultrasound workflows
Helps less experienced operators capture clinically useful scans
Can scale across multiple ultrasound use cases and departments
Designed as a modular AI imaging layer for broader healthcare ecosystems
Architecture Overview
Device & Capture Layer: The platform connects to ultrasound devices and receives scan data in real time.
Guidance Layer: AI models assess view quality, probe positioning patterns, and scan completeness during image acquisition.
Interpretation Layer: Selected imaging patterns are analyzed for preliminary clinical support and anomaly highlighting.
Review Layer: Clinicians access captured studies, structured summaries, image quality results, and prior exam history.
Integration Layer: The platform can connect with EHR/EMR, PACS, telemedicine systems, and cloud medical infrastructure.
Deployment Layer: Supports local, cloud, or hybrid deployment depending on infrastructure and latency requirements.

Value
Better scan quality, clearer interpretation support, and more reliable point-of-care imaging workflows
The platform helps clinicians capture more useful ultrasound views the first time.
AI helps surface suspicious patterns and incomplete scans earlier.
Better first-pass capture quality reduces the need for unnecessary repeated imaging.
The platform helps extend ultrasound use into settings with fewer specialists.
Benchmarks
Built for bedside imaging, portable devices, and real-time AI support across distributed healthcare environments
The platform is designed for use during active exams, not only after image capture.
Supports local, cloud, and hybrid deployment models.
The architecture can support additional ultrasound use cases over time.
Captured studies can be reviewed and shared for second opinion or specialist input.
Data Protection
Enterprise-grade protection for imaging data, exam records, and healthcare system integrations
Exam data and image history are managed through governed clinical workflows.
Ultrasound studies and metadata are processed through protected medical infrastructure.
The platform improves visibility into scan quality, exam history, and AI-supported diagnostic workflows.
