About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

FDA Grants Clearance for HeartFocus, the Transformative AI-powered Cardiac Imaging Software

The milestone signals a new era of access for cardiac care, enabling any healthcare professional to perform diagnostic-grade echos anytime, anywhere.

DESKi today announced FDA clearance for HeartFocus, its AI-enabled heart exam software that empowers any healthcare professional, including novices, to perform clinical-quality heart scans from any compatible device after just a few hours of training.

The FDA also approved DESKi’s Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for HeartFocus’ growth opportunities. This clears the way for faster collaboration with other ultrasound systems, so the technology can reach more patients sooner.

“Heart disease is the number one killer worldwide, and echocardiography is the first step to receiving a diagnosis and proper treatment. However, there is a critical shortage of cardiologists and expert sonographers to meet demand. HeartFocus bridges that gap, empowering any healthcare provider, anywhere, to capture cardiac images with precision and confidence,” said Bertrand Moal, PhD, MD, CEO of DESKi. “This clearance affirms our technology and accelerates our ability to bring earlier diagnosis and life-saving care to all who need it, including rural and underserved communities.”

The efficacy of HeartFocus was validated in a landmark international clinical trial conducted in partnership with Northwell Health in the United States and the University Hospital of Bordeaux (CHU) in France. In a blind review, 100% of novice-conducted scans using HeartFocus met diagnostic standards for all primary endpoints and were comparable to those completed by expert sonographers.

“The clinical trial results and subsequent FDA clearance mark a major step forward in making echocardiography more accessible in the community,” said Dr. Varinder P. Singh, SVP, Global and International Health, Northwell. “Proving that it can successfully guide any healthcare professional to capture high-quality heart scans, HeartFocus will help patients get diagnosed sooner and move more quickly toward the treatment they need.”

“HeartFocus is opening the door to a new era in cardiac imaging,” said Stéphane Lafitte, Professor of Cardiology at CHU de Bordeaux. “We’ve proven that AI can empower novices to reliably perform echocardiograms, a breakthrough that could reshape how we diagnose and treat heart disease. It’s an exciting advancement for the field of cardiology, with the potential to extend high-quality care to more patients globally than ever before.”

About HeartFocus

HeartFocus is a revolutionary, AI-driven heart exam software that empowers any healthcare professional to perform world-class echos from compatible devices. Created in 2023 by French brothers Bertrand and Olivier Moal, HeartFocus leverages proprietary and ground-breaking algorithms trained on over 10 million data points and validated through clinical trials. Bertrand, a Medical Doctor with a PhD in biomechanical engineering, and Olivier, a Berkeley and EPFL engineering alum, were moved by the devastating impact of cardiovascular disease exacerbated by increasingly overburdened healthcare systems. Driven by the belief No heart can wait ™, HeartFocus provides a life-saving solution for heart patients, facilitating early detection and disease prevention. In 2024, HeartFocus was awarded the coveted France 2030 Award by the French Ministry of Health and is currently partnered with several app platforms and Software Development Kit providers, including Butterfly Network in the U.S, to bring the technology to healthcare providers globally.

HeartFocus is the latest offering by DESKi, a provider of innovative AI products developed in conjunction with medical practitioners and researchers. For more information visit www.heartfocus.ai
