The Field Clinical Specialist will support on-site clinical study activities, including the launch of trial sites, enhanced enrolment, training of users and study personnel, ensuring timely data collection, compliance with study protocol, and providing technical product support.
Our partner has developed a two-part system that brings clinical-grade ultrasound to the dialysis clinic floor — no imaging expertise required. They have developed an AI-powered 3D ultrasound device to automatically capture the three parameters that matter for fistula maturation — volumetric flow rate, vessel diameter, and depth — without trained sonographers, precise probe positioning, or manual tuning.
They are currently running a 300-person trial across the US.
