Dyad Medical Secures FDA Clearance For Echo:Prio™ Cardiac Imaging Analysis Application

August 15, 2022

Boston, Massachusetts (August 15, 2022)– Dyad Medical, Inc., the developer of the cloud-based AI technology for cardiac image analysis, announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its Echocardiogram application called Echo:Prio^TM through the 510(k) pathway. Echo:Prio^TM , part of the complete cardiac platform named Libby®, offers fast, data-driven image analysis of echocardiogram images. It is an important decision-making support tool for index quantification of cardiac function saving the clinician time in diagnosis and treatment-decision making.

Echocardiograms are often the first step in diagnosing and developing a treatment plan for heart disease. The heart is the only organ in constant movement as it pumps blood throughout the body. When analyzing the left ventricle, any abnormal motion may be a sign of heart disease. Most imaging labs rely on visual detections of these abnormalities to diagnose and manage heart disease. This subjective process requires a complete view of the endocardium which is not always available. Furthermore, additional factors influencing image interpretations include operator skill level and variations in heart rates and cardiac loading, all of which may be addressed using automated analysis.

“The current process of manual echocardiographic assessment of myocardial function is time consuming and lacks consistency between readings. The FDA’s clearance of Dyad Medical’s Echo:Prio^TM application allows us to provide operators and physicians an essential computer-assisted tool for echocardiographic analysis. Our solution is proven to be consistent and can be used across all systems, regardless of an operator’s skill level,” said Dr. Ronny Shalev, CEO and co-Founder of Dyad Medical, Inc.

Libby® Echo:Prio™ is embedded in the current workflow of imaging operators, physicians, and researchers. The Libby® platform is cloud-based, offering users a secure way to use it from any location on any device. The AI-powered platform provides users an immediately-available second opinion when diagnosing cardiac images saving them critical time that can be spent with patients.

“Dyad Medical’s Echo:Prio™ application allows physicians to prioritize patient treatments and deliver the life-saving care needed for those who need it most,” said Shalev. “Echocardiogram analysis done manually is time consuming and must be done consistently across all patients and operators. Echo:Prio^TM is expanding the physician’s view so they have greater confidence in their diagnosis leading to greater patient satisfaction and retention.”

This is the second FDA clearance Dyad Medical has received for its Libby® cardiac imaging analysis platform. Dyad Medical’s intravascular optical coherence tomography application is also FDA cleared. Focusing on AI-powered analysis of cardiac images, the company continues to enhance its applications for other imaging modalities. To learn more visit www.dyadmedical.com.

Dyad Medical's SaaS based AI for cardiac imaging fundraising exceeds $3.5MM

October 1, 2020

BOSTON, Oct. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Dyad Medical, Inc., a groundbreaking medical image analysis platform delivering cloud-based artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis, announced after just 90 days, the closing of its oversubscribed Series Seed funding round led by The Unofficial Syndicate, with participation by Social Starts L.P., and local angel investors. Along with grants from the NIH, this brings Dyad’s total funding to more than $3.5MM.

Dyad, a recent Mass Challenge grad, will use the funding to enhance its patent-pending cardiac imaging software, to accelerate its FDA clearance path and expand their team to prepare for customer deployments. Dyad’s cloud-native platform increases the accuracy and efficiency of cardiac image analysis providing cardiologist and clinicians with near real-time observations that, prior to Dyad, in many cases were invisible to the human eye and time consuming to detail.

“We are the only solution that provides cardiologists with insights on every scan they perform, regardless of the modality used and what part of the heart they scan,” says Dr. Ronny Shalev, co-founder and CEO of Dyad Medical. “We are clear on our goal to provide universal access to expert-level observations by teaching computers to automatically analyze medical images. The Dyad platform, will provide instantaneous cardiac image interpretations globally via the web, accessible by any device, which for a clinician is like having 1000’s of expert second opinions for them to consider in their diagnoses – all in real-time.”

“The combination of artificial intelligence, a brain trust of distinguished scientific advisors, and a cloud-based solution that delivers the only four modality cardiac analysis in the market is game changing. We believe this will become the gold standard in cardiac care and we are excited to help them bring this technology to market,” said Jayme Fishman, Co-founder of The Unofficial Syndicate. “My co-founder, Harry Scott, brought this deal to our consortium and will lead Dyad’s Advisory board as we help them move to commercialization.”

“We believe Dyad will transform the cardiac imaging field by placing cutting-edge technology within cardiologists’ current workflow to efficiently drive faster and more accurate diagnoses,” said Emi Gonzalez, Principal at Social Starts.
