Horalix Tests AI Echocardiography at Poliklinika Dr Nabil in Sarajevo
NEWS | January 30, 2026 | Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Horalix evaluated its AI echocardiography workflow with clinicians at Poliklinika Dr Nabil in Sarajevo using real-world DICOM studies.
Short answer
On January 30, 2026, Horalix evaluated its AI-assisted echocardiography workflow with clinicians at Poliklinika Dr Nabil in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Echocardiography DICOM studies were processed through Horalix and reviewed alongside the clinic’s established cardiac ultrasound workflow, giving the team practical feedback on measurements, usability, verification, and report preparation.
The session was a real-clinic workflow evaluation, not a completed clinical trial or regulatory validation.
What happened at Poliklinika Dr Nabil?
The Horalix team visited Poliklinika Dr Nabil to observe how echocardiography studies are reviewed in an active cardiology environment.
The clinic is led by Prof. dr. sci. med. Nabil Naser, a specialist in internal medicine and cardiology and the founder of Poliklinika Dr Nabil. The clinic provides several forms of cardiology and echocardiography services, including transthoracic, transesophageal, strain, stress, and advanced cardiac ultrasound examinations.
During the session, exported echocardiography DICOM studies were processed using Horalix. Clinicians and the Horalix team then reviewed the resulting structured measurements and discussed how the software could fit into the clinic’s existing workflow.
What was evaluated?
The session focused on the complete post-acquisition workflow rather than only testing whether an artificial intelligence model could generate a number.
The team evaluated:
- DICOM study processing
- Structured cardiac measurement extraction
- Visibility of relevant image and video context
- Clinician review and verification
- Usability during echocardiography analysis
- Preparation of report-ready information
- Areas where the software required further improvement
This distinction is important. A technically accurate output is only useful when clinicians can understand it, verify it, and incorporate it into their normal reporting process.
Why this matters for AI echocardiography
Echocardiography is one of the most widely used methods for evaluating cardiac structure and function, but the workflow can require considerable post-acquisition work.
After cardiac ultrasound images are captured, cardiologists and sonographers may still need to:
- Identify and review relevant views
- Perform or verify cardiac measurements
- Compare findings across clips
- Organize results into structured documentation
- Prepare and approve the final report
Horalix is developing AI-assisted echocardiography workflow software to support suitable parts of this process.
The goal is not to replace the cardiologist. The goal is to reduce repetitive measurement and documentation work while keeping clinical interpretation and final approval with qualified physicians.
What Horalix learned
The most valuable result of the session was direct feedback grounded in real echocardiography cases and real clinical workflow.
The evaluation reinforced several product priorities:
- Every AI-generated output must remain easy to verify
- Measurements should stay connected to their source images
- The software must reduce work rather than introduce another complicated dashboard
- Clinicians must remain responsible for interpretation and sign-off
- Integration and usability matter as much as individual model performance
These priorities continue to guide the development of the Horalix CardiologyAI platform.
Was this a completed clinical validation study?
No.
This was a clinical workflow evaluation session conducted inside a working cardiology clinic. It provided practical evidence about product usability, workflow compatibility, measurement review, and areas for improvement.
It should not be interpreted as:
- A completed clinical trial
- Independent proof of diagnostic accuracy
- Regulatory authorization
- Evidence of improved patient outcomes
- A replacement for broader clinical validation
Horalix separates internal product observations from independently validated evidence. More information is available through the company’s evidence and benchmark disclosures.
What this means for hospitals and clinics
For hospitals, echocardiography laboratories, and private cardiology clinics, the important question is not simply whether AI can produce measurements.
The more useful questions are:
- Can clinicians verify the measurements quickly?
- Does the software fit the existing DICOM workflow?
- Does it reduce repetitive reporting work?
- Can it operate reliably within the institution’s infrastructure?
- Does it preserve physician control?
Horalix is being developed around those operational requirements.
Next steps
Horalix is continuing to evaluate its software with cardiologists, clinics, imaging teams, and hospital partners.
Future work will focus on product reliability, structured reporting, clinical usability, technical integration, and documented performance across a wider range of echocardiography studies.
