Contract awarded for products that bring
improvement to healthcare industry
CAMPBELL, Calif., July 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Body Vision Medical announced
its LungVision® AI-driven image guidance system has
received an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc. the
nation's largest provider-driven healthcare performance improvement
company. The contract was awarded based on the recommendation of
LungVision® by hospital experts who serve on one of
Vizient's customer-led councils, and it signifies to Vizient
provider customers unique qualities that potentially bring
improvement to the healthcare industry.
Innovative Technology contracts are recommended after review and
interaction with products submitted through Vizient's Innovative
Technology Program. Vizient customer-led councils identify
technologies that have the potential to enhance clinical care,
patient safety, healthcare worker safety or improve business
operations of healthcare organizations.
"We are honored by Vizient's recognition of
LungVision® as an innovative technology," says
Jon Ulvestad, Vice President of
Sales and Market Development at Body Vision Medical. "LungVision's
combination of real-time imaging, augmented fluoroscopy, and
image-guided navigation is functionally unique in the navigational
bronchoscopy space. The fact that these capabilities are
found in a system that has been proven to provide superior clinical
outcomes, helps reduce radiation exposure, is compatible with any
existing bronchoscopy setup, and is cost-effective enough to be a
viable option for medical institutions of all types is truly
game-changing. Vizient's contract award makes it easier for
its customers to access this innovative technology and improve
their ability to definitively diagnose lung patients."
LungVision® by Body Vision is a medical imaging
system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assist in the
diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases, particularly lung cancer.
The system pairs with any C-arm fluoroscope to produce the
real-time, intra-procedural images crucial for accurately locating
and targeting lung nodules as well as providing the image-guided
navigation that enhances the accuracy of lung nodule biopsies by
guiding physicians to precise locations within the lung. By
providing clear, real-time images and precise navigation,
LungVision® improves the diagnostic accuracy for lung
diseases, leading to earlier-stage cancer detection, more effective
treatment planning, and improved lung cancer survival.
"A product receives this type of contract when it demonstrates a
unique quality that differentiates it from other products on
the market," said Kelly Flaharty,
senior director of contract services for Vizient. "Our
customer-led council determined that Body Vision
Medical's LungVision met this standard and recognizes its
potential to improve quality outcomes."
Vizient represents a diverse customer base that includes
academic medical centers, pediatric facilities, community
hospitals, integrated health delivery networks and non-acute
healthcare providers and has a portfolio that represents more than
$130 billion in annual purchasing
volume. Through its Innovative Technology Program, Vizient works
with customer-led councils and task forces to evaluate products for
their potential to bring real innovation to healthcare. Vizient may
award a contract to products deemed worthy of the Innovative
Technology designation outside of the competitive bid cycle.
Body Vision Medical believes in saving lives through the
democratization of innovative medical technology and the Quintuple
Aim is at the heart of everything that we do. Our first commercial
product, LungVision™, provides AI-powered real-time
image guidance to address the unmet clinical need for early,
definitive lung cancer diagnosis and, in the future, to enable
effective treatment of lung lesions via a minimally invasive
procedure.
