Avail Medsystems is testing a third-party software integration that it plans to launch in the coming months.

Avail executives said they hope it will be the first of many partnerships with medical technology developers of software or algorithms that could be useful in the operating room.

Avail CEO Daniel Hawkins expects to launch the software integration in the first quarter of 2023, he told Medical Design & Outsourcing after a panel discussion at DeviceTalks West in Santa Clara, California. He declined to name his company’s partner, but offered some details as the product goes through UI and customer experience testing.

“A remote user can pull up that software and optimize the workflow in a specialty category that really benefits from workflow enhancement,̶…

Mayo Clinic researchers are using AI algorithms to calculate childbirth risk while women are in labor in an effort to reduce the rate of cesarean delivery and complications.

The machine learning algorithms — a type of device known as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), where the software is the device rather than a mechanical device — analyze patterns of changes for women in labor.

“This is the first step to using algorithms in providing powerful guidance to physicians and midwives as they make critical decisions during the labor process,” senior author Dr. Abimbola Famuyide said in a news release. “Once validated with further research, we believe the algorithm will work in real time,…
