EchoNous, the developer of an AI-assisted portable ultrasound machine, raised $7M.  The startup's Kosmos point-of-care ultrasound system is able to image the heart and calculate its ejection fraction. The Kosmos ultrasound was rated second highest for overall image quality, behind Philips Healthcare's Lumify, in a study of portable ultrasound machines published by the University of Texas, San Antonio researchers in The Ultrasound Journal. EchoNous partnered with 19Labs, which focuses on telemedicine, to teach ultrasound technology to users in real-time. The new round is led by recurring investor Kennedy Lewis Investment Management, which led its last two rounds for $57M in September 2022 and $60M in June 2021.
