VIDA announces patents for improving pulmonary care with advanced analytics at the American Thoracic Society meeting in San Diego
21 May 2018 -

Pulmonary imaging analytics company VIDA Diagnostics Inc Friday announced a notice of allowance for the patent "Systems and Methods for Quantifying Regional Fissure Features" that covers the collection, comparison and classification of patient fissures based on localised, image-derived characteristics.

The pending patent strengthens the company's existing intellectual property portfolio within fissure analytics and ELVR (Endobronchial Lung Volume Reductiontreatment) selection. Its VIDA|vision 2.1 features enhancements to the Lung Volume Analysis workflow for ELVR treatment selection and planning.

Additionally, the US patent 9,390,498, titled "Visualization and Characterization of Pulmonary Lobar Fissures," covers a framework for computing and displaying fissure integrity, a measure which serves as a surrogate for collateral ventilation, stated the company.

In conjunction, the company's US Patent 9,504,529 covers "Treatment Outcome Prediction for Lung Volume Reduction Procedures."

According to the company, its analysis goes beyond a global fissure assessment to provide highly precise regional fissure analyses and AI-powered predictions to locally characterize disease. Localized patient fissure features may be spatially mapped to and compared against those in a database of both responders and non-responders of a procedure, providing clinicians with valuable insights aimed to better inform clinical decisions.
