It\u2019s estimated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liver.ca\/patients-caregivers\/liver-diseases\/fatty-liver-disease\/#:~:text=NASH%20affects%20almost%201.5%20million,to%20liver%20function%20called%20cirrhosis.\">1 in 5 people in Canada have fatty liver disease<\/a>. Over the last few decades, <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/hep\/Fulltext\/2023\/04000\/The_global_epidemiology_of_nonalcoholic_fatty.27.aspx#:~:text=NAFLD%20global%20prevalence%20is%2030,%2C%20regional%2C%20and%20global%20levels.\">the prevalence of this disease has ballooned globally<\/a> due to dominating sedentary lifestyles and high-fat foods consumed each day, along with other comorbidities that contribute to its progression, including diabetes and obesity. Like with many other life-threatening diseases, early detection and monitoring is crucial to ensuring better treatment outcomes and prognosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>Introduction to Sonic Incytes<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonicincytes.com\/\">Sonic Incytes<\/a>, a Canadian artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted medical imaging company based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, is looking to change the way liver disease is screened and monitored globally. Their flagship, FDA cleared device, Velacur\u2122, is revolutionizing the diagnosis and management of chronic liver disease. Their proprietary technology that grew into Velacur was originally <a href=\"https:\/\/innovation.ubc.ca\/innovation-stories\/sound-solution-silent-killer\">developed by researchers at the University of British Columbia<\/a> (UBC).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>Current Fatty Liver Disease Screening Options are Leaving Millions Behind<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>Fatty liver disease largely goes undiagnosed due to inaccessible screening options. Today, the only ways you can be screened for fatty liver disease are through invasive biopsies, expensive MRI scans, or limited transient elastography. Liver biopsies are invasive and involve the collection of a small tissue sample which only reveals a fraction of the overall liver health. MRIs are used to measure the fat and elasticity in the liver but are quite costly both in time and money and, in Canada, often have long wait times. The primary screening method for fatty liver disease is transient elastography, but similar to a biopsy, this point-and-shoot system only offers a small viewing window into the overall health of the liver. Not to mention, it has a limited measurement depth and volume sample collected. Since the vast majority of high-risk individuals are overweight or obese, transient elastography is often an ineffective screening method. Lastly, all of these screening methods require immense technical training and expertise. To tackle this growing epidemic, we need a new system to help meet the enormous unmet screening and disease monitoring needs. That\u2019s where Velacur comes into play.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Lato||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><span>An Innovative Solution: Velacur<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span>Velacur is Sonic Incytes\u2019 innovative, AI-assisted ultrasound that uses S-WAVE technology to accurately and rapidly measure liver stiffness (fibrosis) and attenuation (fat content), key indicators of chronic liver disease. Unlike other non-invasive technologies, Velacur offers superior point-of-care diagnosis, with an easy-to-use interface enabling accurate scans in just 5 minutes, with no sonography experience needed. Additionally, Velacur&#8217;s 3D scanning measures 30x more tissue volume with double the depth, ideal for patients with high body fat percentages. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/inovait.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/VELACUR-RGB-2.png&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; alt=&#8221;Sonic Incytes&#8217; Velacur logo.

Shortly thereafter, their progress on Velacur\u2019s enhancements proved incredibly promising, and they were awarded the coveted INOVAIT Focus Fund to further advance Velacur. Since launching their project, Velacur has vastly improved the user experience for healthcare professionals through the release of new FDA cleared AI features, the Organ Guide and Wave Quality Detector. The Organ Guide integrates an in-house developed AI tool that identifies not only the liver but also other organs, tissues, and artifacts in real time. Additionally, it includes a Wave Quality measurement feature that assesses the quantity and quality of shear waves generated and measured by the device, providing superior measurements for people with higher body fat percentages. These crucial enhancements improve the performance of the device to enable less experienced medical personnel to conduct accurate liver scans, with no sonography experience required. The continuous improvement of an innovative medical imaging device requires the united vision of an extremely skilled interdisciplinary team. With INOVAIT\u2019s funding, Sonic Incytes has created and maintained numerous roles within the company to ensure the streamlined growth of Velacur. The skillful team is hard at work further advancing Velacur to improve patient outcomes and help tackle the fatty liver disease epidemic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToday, reading an ultrasound image requires a lot of skill and training,\u201d said Allen. \u201cBy assisting the user with our advanced features, we can help less experienced users capture fantastic images, ultimately leading to higher quality data.
