Clarius Launches T-Mode Heart AI Tool to Train Primary Care Physicians in Cardiac Ultrasound

The tool focuses on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the heart, using real-time AI labeling to simplify complex cardiac anatomy during live scans. 

Clarius Mobile Health has launched T-Mode Heart, an AI-powered training module designed to enable primary care physicians, medical students, and emergency clinicians to perform cardiac ultrasound exams with greater accuracy and confidence.

The tool focuses on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) of the heart, using real-time AI labeling to simplify complex cardiac anatomy during live scans. 

With a single tap, the Clarius app displays a split-screen view showing a standard grayscale ultrasound image alongside a color-coded, labeled anatomical visualization, allowing users to identify heart structures such as chambers and valves more easily.

T-Mode Heart is part of the Clarius Intelligence suite and marks the company’s tenth AI-driven training module aimed at improving ultrasound adoption among non-specialists. The launch comes amid growing demand for early detection of cardiovascular conditions, which remain a leading cause of death globally.

According to Clarius, a key barrier to wider use of cardiac POCUS in primary care has been the complexity of training and interpretation. The new module is designed to reduce this gap by enabling clinicians to learn and interpret ultrasound images in real time during patient exams.

Clinical evidence has shown that trained primary care providers can use POCUS to identify serious cardiac conditions, including heart failure, improving early diagnosis and clinical decision-making.

“T-Mode Heart provides the missing link for clinicians to quickly integrate point-of-care ultrasound into everyday patient care,” said Sarah Leverett, Vice President of Marketing at Clarius. She added that the tool aims to improve triage and treatment decisions by accelerating ultrasound training and reducing uncertainty in image interpretation.

Alongside T-Mode Heart, Clarius also introduced T-Mode Knee, an AI-guided training module designed to support musculoskeletal ultrasound exams. The tool enables clinicians to scan and interpret knee anatomy across multiple planes, helping identify common injuries and conditions.

Both T-Mode Heart and T-Mode Knee are available globally through the Clarius App 12.2.6 and are compatible with Clarius HD3 handheld ultrasound devices.
