Blackford Analysis
The combination of ever-increasing radiologist workload and dramatic changes in reimbursement have driven the development of innovative AI and other image processing modules. Recent years have seen many new imaging technologies reach market-readiness, but relatively few are ultimately implemented on a large scale. During our journey to successfully bring an image registration product to market (Blackford Smart Localizer), we encountered many challenges. But some of the most significant hurdles we encountered only became apparent after we had developed the final product and had received FDA 510k clearance. Two key challenges we’d like to explore today include:
- Integrating with existing workflow
- The high cost of customer acquisition
