Ultromics Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for Pioneering AI-based Cardiovascular Suite, EchoGo

Leave a comment

The SaaS suite helps physicians automate key measurements and predict the occurrence of CAD, enabling clinicians to proactively recommend preventive actions that improve patient outcomes

LONDON, Sept. 25, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global AI-based echocardiography market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Ultromics with the 2020 Global New Product Innovation Award for enhancing diagnostic quality in cardiac care units with its AI suite, EchoGo. The FDA and CE-cleared solutions (respectively EchoGo Core and EchoGo Pro) not only automate measurements for heart functions but also empower physicians to predict the occurrence of coronary artery disease (CAD). With a cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) format, they enable quick deployment, minimal training, and hassle-free upgrades.

"Ultromics’ EchoGo Core performs cardiac measurements, including ejection fraction (EF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), left ventricular (LV) volume, and myocardial strain reporting. By automating these measurements, Ultromics eases one of the most tedious steps in cardiovascular conditions’ diagnosis, thus saving time and removing inter-operator variability," said Parth Shah Research Analyst. "Meanwhile, EchoGo Pro serves as a clinical decision support tool for physicians by assessing the risk profiles of patients. As an industry-first solution within cardiac echocardiography, it enables early detection and prevention of CAD supported by evidence at the point of care."

Furthermore, being a cloud-based solution, it can be delivered as a SaaS model, which allows deployments to be completed faster than with traditional PACS software integrations. The SaaS model also does away with the need for future upgrades, patches, and associated fees. The solution is designed to be intuitive, minimizing the need for substantial user training required by other solutions. Once usage begins, it employs a zero-click, off-the-cart usage approach, eliminating the need for users to manually upload or cross-launch scans.

Being a vendor-neutral solution, Ultromics can target any provider, regardless of the echocardiography equipment they use, across regions. While the EchoGo solutions are currently available in the western markets, Ultromics will target the Asia-Pacific market in the future. Its adoption in developed markets received a major boost in 2020 when the Strain procedure obtained a CPT code that allows physicians to report and bill myocardial strain diagnosis. It is also one of the very few AI solutions in the imaging space to qualify for reimbursement.

"EchoGo’s pricing structure delivers significant return on investment with no upfront costs. While competitors offer comparable price points, their need for additional software upgrades and associated installation costs and efforts make them more expensive in the long term. Ultromics adopts a pay-per-use pricing model but can also offer a subscription model depending on the volume of procedures being conducted," noted Shah. "EchoGo automates the entire process, allowing physicians to save on costs while having zero user interactions to obtain results. Overall, Ultromics’ price-value proposition helps it capture a larger share of the market and positions it for continued growth globally."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed an innovative element in a product by leveraging leading-edge technologies. The award recognizes the value-added features/benefits of the product and the increased return on investment (ROI) it gives customers, which, in turn, raises customer acquisition and overall market penetration potential.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

Clarivate Reveals 2020 Citation Laureates – Annual List of Researchers of Nobel Class

Leave a comment

54 Citation Laureates named by the Institute for Scientific Information have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize

24 new Citation Laureates named, from six countries (USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea and United Kingdom)

LONDON, Sept. 23, 2020 — Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CCC), a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today named 24 world-class researchers from six countries as Citation Laureates. These are researchers whose work is deemed to be ‘of Nobel class’, as demonstrated by analysis carried out by the Institute for Scientific Information™ (ISI). 


Each year since 2002, ISI analysts have drawn on Web of Science™ publication and citation data to identify influential researchers in the research areas recognized by Nobel Prizes: Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry and Economics. Out of some 50 million articles and proceedings indexed in the Web of Science since 1970, only 5,700 (or .01%) have been cited 2,000 or more times. It is from the authors of this group of papers that Citation Laureates are identified and selected. They are individuals whose research reports are highly cited and whose contributions to science have been extremely influential, even transformative.

In early October 2020, the Nobel Assembly will vote to confer science’s highest honor. Whilst this annual rite inspires worldwide speculation, Clarivate is the only organization to use quantitative data in addition to qualitative assessment to provide valuable insights about who may be chosen. To date, 54 Citation Laureates listed in the Hall of Citation Laureates have gone on to receive a Nobel Prize.

Joel Haspel SVP Strategy, Science, Clarivate said: "This year’s Laureates have advanced humanity’s understanding of topics as varied as the gender pay gap, nanocrystals and how galaxies are formed. They have pushed the boundaries of clinical care with advances in personalized medicine and vaccine development. We are delighted to recognize and celebrate their immense achievements, demonstrating that their citation tallies reflect their influence on their colleagues, disciplines and the wider world."

David Pendlebury, Senior Citation Analyst at the Institute for Scientific Information at Clarivate said: "To be cited 2,000 times or more is a rarity. Authors of very highly cited papers are usually members of national academies of sciences, hold senior appointments in universities and other research institutes, and have received many top international prizes in their fields. Indeed, some of them have helped to shape their fields of study. Some of these ‘scientific elites’ go on to receive Nobel honors, demonstrating each year the association between citations in the literature, influence through a research community, and peer judgement."

This year 19 of the 24 honorees are based at leading academic institutions in the United States; others hail from Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea and the United Kingdom.

The 2020 Citation Laureates are:

Commenting on his appointment as a Citation Laureate, Pierre Perron, Professor of Economics, Boston University said: "It is the best honor I could have hoped for. The reason I am so grateful is that it is based on facts: citations, impact on the profession… To me this is what is important as an econometrician, producing work that is useful for applications. Not publishing overly technical papers that appeal to only a few. I am a proletarian at heart! In that sense, it is much more rewarding than elections to elite societies. I decided early on that I would have my own research agenda, working mostly with PhD students. It worked well and I am proud of the work, its impact on the profession and on all the students I worked with."

Quickly complete creative projects with hard-to-take footage and high-quality stock footage every time.

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 23, 2020 — With the spread of displays that can enjoy ultra-high-quality video content such as smartphones and TVs, 4K video is rapidly entering the center of the content market. As the demand for ultra-high-definition video content is soaring, video experts around the world are also moving quickly to secure high-quality 4K video content.

Among these, KEYCUTstock, a stock footage platform that provides high-quality and ultra-high-definition video content, is opening a new chapter and is focusing the attention of stakeholders. KEYCUTstock is a platform that specializes in providing only ultra-high-definition video content of 4K or higher, and provides various types of video libraries.

In particular, in a video production environment where location shooting has become exceedingly difficult, this is an opportunity to help continue the video production environment in the no-contact era by providing ultra-high-definition video over 4K.

KEYCUTstock provides industry-leading, high-quality, focused video content, and through the KEYCUT License, content can be used in any medium without restrictions. This provides users ultra-high-definition video content over 4K and 8K, and satisfies the needs of professional creators who create high-quality trendy videos by solving complex and difficult licensing issues.

4K, 8K video content provided by KEYCUTstock is separate to minimize the loss of information in the original (RAW) file and provides high-quality data with high bit depth and chroma subsampling information to customers. It is provided as a high-quality mastering codec that does not require image quality correction. This will further increase satisfaction by allowing professional creators such as digital content and advertisements to use the video immediately after purchasing the video without additional work and expense.

It is also spurring the development of customized video content recommendation services based on big data from video content usage patterns and purchase results of professional creators.

KEYCUTstock’s recommendation service predicts (filters) interest in specific video content based on the user’s video content evaluation information. It recommends collaboration-based filtering and metadata similar to the video content that users like. It is a hybrid recommendation system that combines content-based filtering that recommends video content with picture quality, codec, framerate and keywords.

KEYCUTstock’s exclusive deep-learning-based solution automatically improves the picture quality and levels.

Unlike existing stock footage platforms, it is also remarkable for its good influence in the market in that it is building an ecosystem centered on content creators. KEYCUTstock is providing artist-centered revenue distribution policies and various creative support services so that video content creators can focus more on their creative activities.

It sympathizes with the controversial problem of profit distribution and allows content creators to have the right to decide on pricing. This is expected to improve the quality of the content provided by KEYCUTstock, while contributing to the continuous revenue generation of content creators.

Jun-Ho Yun, CEO of 4by4, said, "4by4 is a visual tech startup composed of video quality experts with years of experience in producing and distributing high-definition video content. By doing so, we will lead the changing content creation market in the contact-free era.

Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined – Responses from education’s frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond

DOHA, Qatar, Sept. 22, 2020 — WISE, a Qatar Foundation global education think-tank, in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar, and Diplomatic Courier, is pleased to announce the official release of a special E-Book titled: Education Disrupted, Education Reimagined – Responses from education’s frontline during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

The special edition E-Book was produced in real time, as WISE, in partnership with Salzburg Global Seminar, convened key stakeholders and education leaders from over 98 countries in a three-part series of global conferences aimed at bringing the global education community together. The result was a contemporary historical record of how schools, NGOs, governments, and international organizations responded to school closures during the crisis and how they are attempting to use this crisis as a springboard to reimagine – and even transform – education in their communities and countries.

The E-Book offers an opportunity to a global audience to make sense of what happened, but it also offers a breeding ground of ideas from some of the world’s top education thinkers.

"It is our hope that this publication will provide the education community with a reference point from the crisis from which future research, policy, and innovation can grow," said Dr. Asmaa Al-Fadala, editor of the publication and Director of Research and Content Development at WISE.

Contributors include:

  • Her Excellency Sheikha Hind bint Hamad Al-Thani
  • The Right Honorable Gordon Brown
  • Marc A. Brackett
  • Andreas Schleicher
  • Stefania Giannini
  • Manos Antoninis
  • Olli-Pekka Heinonen

WISE is also hosting a virtual session during the Global Goals Week, on September 29 at 3:30PM (GMT+3) to launch the e-book. Six of the e-book’s authors will discuss the future of education in a post-COVID-19 world during this panel session.

You can register to the session here.
