My wife came home late every shift because of ultrasound paperwork, so I wrote her a program
I am a software developer. A couple of years ago I started learning mobile development to build small personal apps for the phone. A hobby, really. My wife is a physician who spends her day with an ultrasound probe. A couple of evenings a week she has late appointments, and on those evenings I noticed a pattern: she came home very late, and I spent that hour on the couch with the cat, waiting.…
My wife, a physician, spent long hours after her ultrasound exams typing reports. She would come home very late every shift, leaving me waiting on the couch. It struck me that she was not dictating text, but measurements. This insight led me to create a software program called SonoForm. The program listens to the doctor during the exam, recognizes the measurements, and automatically fills in the corresponding fields in the report.
The doctor scans with the ultrasound probe, speaks the numbers, and the report is ready within minutes. SonoForm supports multiple languages and exam types, including heart, abdomen, kidneys, thyroid, breast, pelvis, vessels, and pregnancy. The program was designed to minimize the physician's workload, with the doctor simply checking the report for accuracy before printing.
