Brief summary

This is a prospective, non-randomized clinical validation research study. Subjects will consent and have two ultrasounds as part of the study.

Detailed description

This study is to collect data to validate the performance of Caption Lung AI in enabling trained healthcare professionals to perform LUS to obtain diagnostic-quality Lung Ultrasound Studies.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cohort 1: % of patient studies composed of images acquired by the THCPs with sufficient quality to make a clinical assessment7 monthsThe primary endpoint will be based on the majority assessment of the independent expert readers qualitatively assessment of the LUS exam (study level) as being of diagnostic quality.
Cohort 2: % of patient studies composed of images acquired by the Qualified user to make a clinical assessment7 monthsThe primary endpoint will be based on the majority assessment of the independent expert readers qualitatively assessment of the LUS exam (study level) as being of diagnostic quality.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Cohort 1:7 monthsSub-group analyses will be performed on the diagnostic image quality performance, with descriptive statistics reported based on age (\< 65, ≥ 65), BMI group (\< 25, 25 ≤ BMI \< 30, ≥ 30), gender (Male / Female), site location, THCP, and zone of the image (1 - 8). The statistical analysis procedure and all applicable performance metrics that were used on the whole sample (i.e., the Primary Outcome Measures) will be repeated for each sub-group level. This will be conducted to ensure that there is no inherent bias where a specific sub-group level has a greater impact on the overall whole-sample performance compared to other levels.
Cohort 2:7 monthsSub-group analyses will be performed on the diagnostic image quality performance, with descriptive statistics reported based on age (\< 65, ≥ 65), BMI group (\< 25, 25 ≤ BMI \< 30, ≥ 30), gender (Male / Female), site location, THCP, and zone of the image (1 -12). The statistical analysis procedure and all applicable performance metrics that were used on the whole sample (i.e., the Primary Outcome Measures) will be repeated for each sub-group level. This will be conducted to ensure that there is no inherent bias where a specific sub-group level has a greater impact on the overall whole-sample performance compared to other levels.
