Sonograms Enable Looking Forward - Home Examinations Led by Providers Validation Study

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Fertility Risk

In brief

To demonstrate that clear, interpretable quality images of the ovaries and uterus can be generated using a portable transvaginal ultrasound scanner in the home environment, and that those images are interpretable by physicians with sufficient clarity to estimate approximate antral follicle count (i.e., appropriate for age) and to observe submucosal fibroids. Study aims to prove that images taken when ultrasound is performed by a woman herself (with HCP supervision via telemedicine) and images taken when ultrasound is administered by an HCP are of comparable quality. Study population reflects real-world patient characteristics and includes both general-population and submucosal fibroid positive controls.
