Our Team

Improving Cardiac Care

UltraSight was founded on a simple but powerful idea: to apply the power of geometrical deep learning to cardiac ultrasound and give the ability to scan patients to healthcare professionals everywhere to enable better patient care. Our goal is to make diagnostic imaging more accessible, allowing patients in various care settings to be diagnosed earlier in order to provide the right treatment at the right time.

We have assembled a talented group of highly experienced software engineers, clinicians and business experts. We created a team united in the mission to improve cardiac care by putting cardiac ultrasound in the hands of every healthcare provider.
