What You Should Know:
– Sonio, a leading MedTech company specializing in women’s and children’s health, has announced the launch of soniopedia, a groundbreaking solution that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize prenatal diagnosis training.
– soniopedia is not a medical device, but rather a powerful training and educational tool specifically designed for maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) experts. It leverages a unique probabilistic AI model trained on extensive fetal medicine databases, including Omim, Orphanet, and HPO.
How Soniopedia Works
soniopedia simulates real-world scenarios, guiding healthcare professionals through the diagnostic process. It begins with initial ultrasound findings and progresses to exploring potential genetic implications. This comprehensive approach provides a valuable learning experience for MFM specialists.
Key soniopedia features include:
- Cloud-based accessibility: Soniopedia offers a convenient cloud-based platform, simplifying access to a curated and up-to-date database of:
- 4,684 malformations
- 1,177 clinical signs
- 479 syndromes
- AI-powered simulations: Soniopedia’s AI model can handle over 3,700 possible combinations in real-time, guiding healthcare professionals towards accurate diagnoses. This significantly surpasses human capacity for real-time analysis of complex prenatal data.
- Data integration: Soniopedia takes into account various data points to provide a holistic view, including:
- Ultrasound findings
- Medical history
- Risk factors
- Genetic information (if available)
A Collaborative Effort
Sonio, in collaboration with France’s prestigious Ecole Polytechnique, jointly filed a patent for soniopedia. This innovation stems from the research doctorate of Rémi Besson, Sonio’s co-founder, conducted within the obstetrical department of Professor Yves Ville at the Necker Hospital (AP-HP).
“At Sonio, we are deeply committed to advancing prenatal health through innovation. Soniopedia is primarily a training and educational tool that leverages artificial intelligence to simulate complex diagnostics, providing practitioners with in-depth clinical expertise on rare cases. Our goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice while promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. We aim to ensure that women worldwide have access to superior prenatal care,” said Remi Besson, co-founder of Sonio.
