Los Angeles-based startup iCardio.ai has joined Butterfly Network’s recently launched AI marketplace, Butterfly Garden.
Under the terms of the agreement, iCardio.ai will deploy a suite of cardiac ultrasound AI tools in Butterfly Garden that use Butterfly’s handheld, whole-body point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) probe. For instance, the suite features automation of preliminary echocardiographic reports of key measurements of the heart that can help detect valvular diseases, like aortic stenosis, and provide image quality assessments, Butterfly said.
Butterfly launched Butterfly Garden in August to facilitate partnerships with medical device companies, AI companies, or software developers who want to build new applications with Butterfly's imaging platform.
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
