Viderics - Company Profile

Viderics, a spin-off from the Biomedical Engineering Department of the University of Southern California, is developing a continuous transthoracic echocardiography system to acquire continuous, repeatable ultrasonic views of the heart without an attending sonographer. The product is a PoC ultrasound-based device to monitor at-risk cardiac patients continuously. It includes software to calculate ejection fraction, stroke volume and cardiac output by analyzing the continuous stream of heart images. Primarily, the system's intended use will be limited to the hemodynamic monitoring of patients at high cardiac risk in critical care, surgery, pre-op, and step-down care; The future intended application will be the early detection of myocardial ischemia across the continuum of care: emergency response, emergency care, all inpatient care settings, post-acute care, and cardiac stress tests. The system is based on patented technologies and is being co-developed by Greenwings Biomedical and Dataplex.
