— Dornier Delta® III SmartLitho™ offers analytic algorithm to help urologists make evidence-based treatment decisions
Dornier MedTech (Dornier), a global leader in innovative kidney stone management, today announced the launch of Dornier Delta® III SmartLitho™, the world’s first lithotripter system which uses big data in urology, at the American Urology Association (AUA) Annual Meeting 2018.
The new Dornier Delta® III SmartLitho™ can utilize Dornier’s proprietary analytic algorithm, which is able to provide real world data from extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) treatments of urological stones by validating against a broad set of data points collected globally. The novel algorithm enables urologists to make personalized, evidence-based decisions by assessing historical success rates of treatment modalities as well as identify and balance costs.
Abel Ang, President and CEO of Dornier MedTech said: “As a global leader in innovative kidney stone management, we are excited to be the first in the world to roll out a feature for ESWL users that uses the power of big data and analytics.
“Using Dornier’s data driven technology, urologists using our best-selling lithotripter now have access to a broad range of clinical data points and information to make evidence-based medical decisions. This ultimately can lead to more efficient healthcare delivery and better patient outcomes.”
About 1 in 11 Americans will have a kidney stone at some point in their lifetime, with more than 50% of patients experiencing one or more recurrences. The prevalence of stone diseases doubled over the last 15 years and cost the U.S. health system US$10 billion per year.i,ii
Dornier MedTech will exhibit the new Dornier Delta III SmartLithoTM at booth 1645 at AUA 2018.
