Dive Brief:

Philips said Monday it has collaborated with Edwards Lifesciences to develop a tool that uses artificial intelligence to help physicians visualize and navigate mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair, or TEER, procedures.

Called DeviceGuide, the technology tracks the repair device in real time as it moves through the heart. Philips said the system marks a shift in the use of AI from diagnostic imaging and patient monitoring into support for clinical decision-making during live procedures.

DeviceGuide is available in some European markets through a limited release and has been submitted to the Food and Drug Administration for review, a Philips spokesperson said in an email.
