Butterfly Network Inc. Announces Publication of POCUS-CARE Trial Results in JAMA, Highlighting Lung Ultrasound Program's Impact on Reducing Hospital Stay and Costs
Butterfly Network, Inc. announced the publication of the POCUS-CARE trial results in JAMA, demonstrating the effectiveness of its lung ultrasound program. The study revealed that the program, which utilizes portable ultrasound technology and an AI B-line Counter, significantly reduced hospital stays and costs, saving $751,537 and freeing 246 bed-days for patients with undifferentiated dyspnea. This highlights the importance of hospitalist-led lung ultrasound in enhancing hospital efficiency and patient care.
Butterfly Network, Inc. has announced the publication of the full results from the POCUS for Cardiopulmonary Assessment and Resource Evaluation (POCUS-CARE) trial in The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA Network Open). The study, conducted by researchers at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and supported by Butterfly Network, focused on the use of portable ultrasound technology for lung assessments. The trial found that a Butterfly-enabled POCUS program, centered on lung ultrasound for pulmonary congestion and assisted by an AI B-line Counter, led to a reduction in hospital length of stay and hospitalization costs. Specifically, the program was associated with freeing 246 bed-days and saving $751,537 in direct costs for patients admitted with undifferentiated dyspnea, including acute heart failure exacerbations. The study emphasizes the role of hospitalist-led lung ultrasound in improving hospital efficiency and patient management.
