Transforming Echo with AI

A Personal Perspective piece by Us2.ai users at Erasmus MC and Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis Assen in the Netherlands

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of cardiovascular medicine, with innovations moving quickly from research into clinical practice. In this Personal Perspectives article, clinicians from Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam and Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis Assen share their experiences and reflections of integrating Us2.ai into daily workflows. Their reflections highlight the potential of AI-powered echocardiography to enhance efficiency, scalability, and consistency across echo services.

Clinical applications of Us2.ai

At Erasmus MC

Although a large proportion of referrals are complex, the overall demand for echocardiography is rising, particularly in structured follow-up programmes for cardio-oncology, valve disease, and genetic screening. Here, Us2.ai is used to manage high-volume pathways, ensuring reproducibility while freeing expert staff to focus on more nuanced studies.

At Wilhelmina Ziekenhuis Assen

With a greater proportion of standard indications, the system supports a broader share of the daily workflow. By fully automating acquisition-to-reporting, it mitigates workforce pressure and sustains throughput without compromising quality. In addition, AI-guided echocardiography may support earlier recognition of less common conditions in these settings, such as cardiac amyloidosis.
