Recently our DPT students at the University of North Georgia had the opportunity to explore cardiac anatomy using the Clarius Mobile Health Mobile Health T-Mode™ handheld ultrasound system during a session led by Dr. Reza Nourbakhsh, PT, PhD, OCS. The use of AI to assist with recognition and labeling of cardiac structures in real time provides a valuable educational tool for students and faculty. As AI continues to shape healthcare, it is important that our students gain exposure to emerging technologies that will support future clinical practice. Thank you Clarius Mobile Health for supporting our faculty and students and helping enhance physical therapy education through innovative learning opportunities.
