About
Exo is a comprehensive AI ultrasound ecosystem built for point-of-care (POCUS) clinical environments. At its core is the Exo Iris®, a pocket-sized handheld ultrasound device that replaces bulky carts and multi-probe setups. Paired with SweepAI™, the platform's AI engine automatically labels anatomy, captures key diagnostic views, and performs precise measurements—even offline—so clinicians can focus on patient care rather than manual image review. For teams still developing ultrasound proficiency, Exo U™ acts as an AI scan coach, guiding probe motion in real time, labeling anatomical structures, and delivering microlearning content to accelerate skill development. On the administrative side, Exo Works® automates scan-to-note documentation, synchronizes team workflows, manages credentialing QA reports, and ensures accurate billing—all in a vendor-neutral platform. Exo's FDA-cleared AI insight suites span Cardiac (automated EF, chamber size, strain, wall thickness), Lung (B-lines, effusions, consolidations), Fluid Management (IVC collapsibility, bladder volume, vascular access), and Population Health (thyroid cancer risk, hip dysplasia screening). Backed by peer-reviewed research—including LVEF estimation studies—Exo is designed for hospitals, emergency departments, ICUs, and population health programs seeking to deploy POCUS at scale with confidence, speed, and measurable quality.
Key Features
- Exo Iris® Handheld Ultrasound: A pocket-sized, AI-integrated ultrasound probe supporting phased, curved, and linear imaging modes—replacing traditional carts and multi-probe setups for mobile clinical use.
- SweepAI™ Automated Imaging Guidance: AI that never blinks: automatically labels anatomy, captures optimal diagnostic views, and performs precise measurements in real time, with full offline functionality.
- Exo U™ AI Scan Coach: An intelligent training system that guides probe motion, reveals underlying anatomy, and delivers microlearning videos to accelerate clinician ultrasound proficiency with every scan.
- Exo Works® Clinical Workflow Software: Scan-to-note automation, QA credentialing reports, billing accuracy tools, and team synchronization—all in a vendor-neutral platform that integrates seamlessly into existing hospital workflows.
- FDA-Cleared Multi-Domain AI Insight Suites: Real-time, FDA-cleared AI for cardiac (automated EF, strain, chamber size), lung (B-lines, effusions), fluid management (IVC, bladder volume), and population health screening programs.
Use Cases
- Bedside cardiac assessment in the ICU or emergency department using automated ejection fraction and chamber measurement tools
- Real-time lung pathology detection—including B-lines, effusions, and consolidations—at the point of care without sending patients to radiology
- Fluid management decisions using automated IVC collapsibility and bladder volume measurements for rapid, consistent assessment across clinical teams
- Population health screening programs for conditions such as thyroid cancer risk and hip dysplasia using FDA-cleared AI imaging tools
- Accelerating ultrasound training for residents and nurses through Exo U™'s AI-guided probe coaching and microlearning curriculum
Pros
- Complete Integrated Ecosystem: Hardware, AI guidance, coaching, and clinical documentation are unified into one platform—eliminating fragmented point solutions and reducing implementation complexity.
- FDA-Cleared AI Insights: Multiple FDA-cleared AI suites backed by peer-reviewed clinical research give healthcare organizations confidence in deploying AI-driven diagnoses at the bedside.
- Offline Capability: SweepAI™ functions fully offline, making Exo viable in ICUs, rural clinics, field hospitals, and other settings with limited or unreliable connectivity.
- Rapid POCUS Deployment: Designed to introduce POCUS programs within days, with built-in training tools and workflow automation that flatten the adoption curve for entire clinical teams.
Cons
- Premium Pricing for Medical Hardware: As a medical-grade device and enterprise software platform, Exo carries a significant upfront cost that may be prohibitive for smaller clinics or individual practitioners.
- Specialized Use Case: The platform is purpose-built for healthcare and POCUS workflows, making it unsuitable for general-purpose imaging or non-clinical applications.
- Requires Clinical Onboarding: Despite AI coaching tools, deploying POCUS at scale still requires institutional commitment to training, credentialing, and workflow integration.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) and how does Exo support it?
POCUS is bedside ultrasound performed by the treating clinician at the moment of care. Exo supports it with a handheld AI-powered device (Iris), automated imaging guidance (SweepAI), and integrated clinical documentation (Exo Works) to make POCUS fast, accurate, and scalable.
Are Exo's AI features FDA-cleared?
Yes. Exo's AI insight suites—spanning Cardiac, Lung, Fluid Management, and Population Health—are FDA-cleared, providing clinically validated and regulatory-compliant decision support at the bedside.
Does Exo work without an internet connection?
Yes. SweepAI™ is designed to function fully offline, enabling real-time anatomy labeling, view capture, and measurement in settings with limited connectivity such as ICUs, rural facilities, or emergency field environments.
How does Exo Works integrate with existing hospital systems?
Exo Works is a vendor-neutral platform that automates scan-to-note documentation and billing. It is designed to connect with existing EHR and clinical workflow systems, minimizing disruption during deployment.
How quickly can a health system introduce POCUS with Exo?
Exo is designed to enable POCUS program launch within days, thanks to its integrated hardware, AI coaching via Exo U™, and automated documentation and credentialing tools that accelerate both clinician training and administrative readiness.
