Ultrasound AI Secures Patent for AI-Driven Clinical Value Determination from Medical Images
核心洞察
Ultrasound AI (搜索) received U.S. Patent No. 12,369,883 for determining clinical and laboratory values directly from non-invasive medical images like ultrasound (搜索).
The company now holds six patents across three countries, including four U.S. patents focused on premature birth (搜索) prediction and clinical value determination.
Recent PAIR study demonstrated high accuracy in predicting delivery timing with R² up to 0.95 for term births based on over two million ultrasound (搜索) images.
Ultrasound AI (搜索) has secured a significant intellectual property milestone with the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,369,883 for "Artificial Intelligence (搜索) System for Determining Clinical Values through Medical Imaging." The patent, issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on July 29, 2025, protects the company's proprietary system for determining current or future clinical or laboratory values directly from non-invasive medical images such as ultrasound (搜索).
Expanding Patent Portfolio
The new patent brings Ultrasound AI (搜索)'s total intellectual property holdings to six patents across three countries, including four U.S. patents and two international patents. The company's existing patents focus primarily on premature birth (搜索) prediction methods using ultrasound (搜索) images to quantitatively predict premature birth and estimate gestational age.
The complete patent portfolio includes:
- U.S. 11,266,376 — Premature Birth Prediction (issued March 8, 2022)
- U.S. 11,969,289 — Premature Birth Prediction (issued April 30, 2024)
- U.S. 12,318,249 — Premature Birth Prediction (issued June 3, 2025)
- U.S. 12,369,883 — Artificial Intelligence System for Determining Clinical Values through Medical Imaging (issued July 29, 2025)
- Israel Patent IL298790 — Premature Birth Prediction (issued 2024)
- Singapore Registration No. 11202260793S — Premature Birth Prediction (issued 2024)
Clinical Validation Through PAIR Study
The patent issuance coincides with Ultrasound AI (搜索)'s recently published PAIR (Perinatal Artificial Intelligence (搜索) in Ultrasound (搜索)) Study, which demonstrated high accuracy in predicting time-to-delivery using only ultrasound images. The study reported R² values up to 0.95 for term births and 0.92 across all births, based on analysis of more than two million images.
These results underscore the company's progress in developing scalable, image-only AI solutions for obstetric care and broader clinical applications.
Technology and Market Position
"Securing this latest patent is more than a legal milestone—it further validates our long-term vision that standard ultrasound (搜索) can unlock powerful, predictive clinical insights in a fast and cost-effective manner at the point of care," said Robert S. Bunn, founder and president of Ultrasound AI (搜索). "By protecting methods that determine lab and clinical values from imaging alone, we're paving the way for safer, faster, and more accessible care worldwide."
The company's Delivery Date AI (搜索) product serves as the first in a pipeline of AI tools designed to augment clinicians with earlier, more accurate insights derived from standard ultrasound (搜索). The technology is designed to fit seamlessly into existing ultrasound workflows while providing predictive capabilities across a range of conditions.
Future Development
Ultrasound AI (搜索) continues to expand its datasets, partnerships, and pursue regulatory clearances as it develops its patent-protected technologies. The company's approach focuses on image-only artificial intelligence (搜索) that can determine clinical values without requiring additional laboratory tests or invasive procedures, potentially transforming diagnostic imaging and patient care delivery.
