#456: Half of babies with heart problems are missed - AI in ultrasound is changing that22 Jul1 h 02 min

<p>In this episode of The Healthtech Podcast, James is joined by Professor Reza Razavi, Professor of Paediatric Cardiovascular Science at King's College London and CEO of Fraiya, an AI ultrasound software company. Reza shares the deeply personal story behind Fraiya — including his own daughter's near-fatal undiagnosed heart condition as a newborn — and explains how AI applied to the routine 20-week anomaly scan could close the gap between the 50% of congenital heart defects currently missed and a detection rate approaching 97-98%. They get into what it actually takes to build AI that clinicians trust, why the NHS financial environment makes or breaks adoption, and how a team of 14 people is on the verge of launching across six European countries.</p><p><br /></p><p>Connect with Reza: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/reza-razavi-a50967265/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/reza-razavi-a50967265/</a></p><p>Learn more about Fraiya: <a href="https://www.fraiya.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.fraiya.com/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Apply to be a guest: www.thehealthtechpodcast.com</p><p>Subscribe to Healthtech Pigeon 🐦: www.healthtechpigeon.com</p><p>Get in touch with James: www.jamessomauroo.com</p><p><br /></p><p>This podcast was brought to you by SomX.</p><p><br /></p>
