Company Profile HiCura Medical Pte Ltd is a medtech company with the vision of empowering medical professionals by integrating Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) into image-guided procedures. HiCura aims to enhance patient care by improving the accuracy and success rate of the first-attempt needle insertion during spinal injections with their patented AI-based imaging assistant – uSINE.Over 90% of the spinal injections are performed blindly with the landmark and palpation method resulting in very low first-attempt puncture success rate. This affects procedures like epidural anaesthesia for women in labour, spinal anaesthesia for surgeries such as hip or knee replacement, and lumbar punctures for disease diagnosis such as meningitis. Multiple needle insertions may increase risk of complications and procedure time, and decrease patient satisfaction. Medical boards have been encouraging clinicians to use ultrasound as an assistive tool to determine the right needle entry location and angle. However, ultrasound adoption rate has been very slow, mostly due to lack of neuraxial sonography training.uSINE has the potential to transform the current way clinicians are performing these procedures. uSINE automatically identifies spinal landmarks during an ultrasound scan in real time, guiding the clinicians to the right needle insertion spot and angle, so they can get it right at the first try. uSINE software runs on a commercial tablet or laptop and can be easily connected to your existing ultrasound machines. Two clinical studies that were performed on 148 patients in KK Women’s and Children’s hospital in Singapore have shown very positive outcomes.uSINE helps clinicians to move away from the blind palpation method to a safer and more efficient ultrasound image-guided way of performing neuraxial procedures.
