Demetra brings the opportunity to improve patient care in the U.S. by providing visualizations and insights that support the clinician's decision on management strategies, diagnosis, treatments and follow-ups with their patients.

After several years of research and product development, Demetra was rolled out in pilot markets Belgium and Germany and granted FDA clearance in December 2019. In the development of Demetra, Barco and Delasco were committed to ensuring that the solution provided best-in-class innovations pertaining to advanced imaging, helping give clinicians the ability to provide accurate diagnoses and improve clinical workflow. As Barco and Delasco bring the technology to the U.S. market, the Demetra team continues to develop its research pipeline, including new functionalities in imaging, workflow and Artificial Intelligence, in line with its plan to deliver more added value to the solution and its user base. As a result, end-users can derive maximum value from the solution and improve patient care.
