Echovation Challenge 2017

Deadline: 2017-01-20
Award: $5,000

ASE is hosting a competition to foster and disseminate advances in cardiovascular ultrasound, and ultimately patient care.

Cardiovascular ultrasound is an exceptional clinical tool used to help provide insight into all aspects of cardiovascular disease. With the increasing focus being placed on “shared decision making” and “personalized medicine,” it will become ever more crucial for clinicians to quickly and accurately diagnose patients, so that targeted, effective, and personalized treatments can be decided upon and begun.

The Challenge Objective

To showcase innovations in cardiovascular ultrasound technology including imaging acquisition hardware, software, workflow strategies, interpretation and decision modeling that will speed the time to diagnosis and optimize time spent in patient care for a variety of cardiovascular diseases. Such innovations may have already been adopted or may be in development in echocardiography laboratories and medical institutions throughout the United States and across the world. The Echovation Challenge is designed to encourage, spotlight, and ultimately promulgate advances in the cardiovascular field. In addition, ASE hopes to instigate connections in the field, linking researchers, industry, labs, engineers and thought-leaders to share information and educate one another.
