Epsilon Imaging recently launched the new EchoInsight Pro Starter configuration for those programs that may be budget constrained or just getting started with the incorporation of strain imaging into echo studies. The EchoInsight Pro Starter configuration starts with a two-seat bundle at an affordable, discounted package price, and can scale to up to six client seats.

IBM Watson Health and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard are launching a research partnership aimed at developing powerful predictive models that will enable clinicians to identify patients at serious risk for cardiovascular disease. This three-year project will incorporate population- and hospital-based biobank data, genomic information, and electronic health records to build upon and expand the predictive power of polygenic scoring. The project will also plan to make insights and tools widely available to the research community, including methods to calculate an individual’s risk of developing common diseases based on millions of variants in the genome.

Corindus Vascular Robotics Inc. is seeking premarket clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to use the CorPath GRX System in neurovascular intervention. CorPath GRX, the second-generation robotic platform, received FDA clearance for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in 2016 and peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) in 2018. Upon successful FDA clearance, CorPath GRX would become the world’s first and only robotic platform indicated for use in PCI, PVI and neurovascular intervention (NVI).

Abdominal aortic stent grafts will remain the largest segment in the global aortic stent graft market at least through 2028 due to the high prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) relative to thoracic abdominal aneurysms (TAA), according to a new report from GlobalData. The abdominal segment will reach an estimated $2.8 billion global value by 2028, while the overall global aortic stent graft market is expected to reach $4.5 billion in the same period. This represents a compound annual growth rate of 5.4 percent between 2018 and 2028.

Circle Cardiovascular Imaging and Galgo Medical recently announced an agreement for distribution and joint development with respect to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner application products and workflows, with corresponding post-processing capabilities. The focus will be to improve cardiac MRI workflows and diagnostic tools to expand accessibility and use of the modality to electrophysiology procedures such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia ablations.

Medical imaging and visualization company Medivis officially unveiled SurgicalAR, its augmented reality (AR) technology platform for surgical applications, at the 2019 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) annual meeting, Feb. 11-15 in Orlando, Fla.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has proposed a new rule to support seamless and secure access, exchange and use of electronic health information (EHI).

At the 2019 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) global conference and exhibition, Feb. 11-15 in Orlando, Fla., Siemens Healthineers will demonstrate how healthcare providers can benefit from digitalization, particularly in the form of artificial intelligence (AI). In addition to its greater digital services portfolio, Siemens Healthineers will showcase two AI-based applications, the AI-Pathway Companion and the AI-Rad Companion.
