Medsensio's Integrated Whombat Solution Boosts Annotation Efficiency by 65%

Writer: Medsensio TeamMedsensio Team

In the fast-paced world of medical research, data is king. The ability to rapidly and accurately annotate and label auscultation files—especially those capturing lung and heart sounds—can significantly accelerate diagnostic research and clinical breakthroughs. At Medsensio, we understand these challenges. That’s why we’ve integrated the powerful Whombat software into our own cloud service, marking a pivotal advancement in research-driven data management.



Learn about Medsensio's Research Platform

Medsensio has successfully launched a research platform for clinical research, targeted towards cardiopulmonary auscultations.


  • Mobile Application - recording lung and heart sounds have never been easier than with Medsensio's mobile application.

  • Forms and Questionnaires - improves data quality by standardizing input.

  • Web Dashboard - monitor data input during the study.

  • Structured Data - avoid spending time cleaning up messy datasets. We export structured data according to FHIR specification, for simple data processing.

  • Annotation Software - We now offer an intuitive annotation software for researchers, ensuring that data recorded during studies can be easily and securely labelled and annotated by researchers.

  • Automatic Classification - We offer our AI, proven to outperform physicians in classifying auscultation files, for automatic annotation classification.


A Leap Forward in Research Capabilities

Traditional annotation methods often come with significant time constraints and high costs. Researchers have long struggled with the labor-intensive process of preparing, annotating, and cleaning up auscultation data. With our new integrated solution, we’ve achieved a remarkable 65% increase in annotation and data labelling efficiency. This leap not only accelerates research timelines but also enhances the overall quality and consistency of annotated data.


The Science Behind the Success

The integration of Whombat into our cloud infrastructure represents a synergy of state-of-the-art technology and user-centric design. Key research benefits include:


  • User Friendly: Whombat’s user interface is easy to navigate, yet packs some advanced features for researchers. This significantly reduces the onboarding cost of starting with data annotation.

  • Consistent Annotations: Thanks to the structure of data export, it is simple to employ automated processes to ensure that annotations are consistent across large datasets, an essential factor for robust research outcomes.

  • Real-Time Collaboration: Our cloud-based platform facilitates seamless collaboration among research teams, allowing for real-time data sharing and review across various locations. All you need is a web browser, username and a password.


Transforming Data Management Costs

Beyond efficiency, our integrated solution has dramatically reduced the burden associated with data management. By streamlining file distribution, preparation for annotation, and post-annotation cleanup, we’ve slashed costs by an impressive 82%. This cost reduction allows research budgets to be reallocated to other critical areas.


The Impact on Medical Research

The implications of these improvements are profound. With faster, more cost-effective data management and higher quality annotations, research teams can:


  • Accelerate Clinical Studies: Reduced turnaround times mean that research findings can be validated and applied in clinical settings faster than ever before.

  • Enhance Diagnostic Accuracy: High-quality, consistent annotations lead to more reliable data, directly contributing to better diagnostic tools and outcomes.

  • Scale Research Efforts: The ability to manage large datasets efficiently enables researchers to scale up studies, paving the way for breakthroughs in understanding complex conditions related to lung and heart sounds.


Embracing Innovation for the Future of Research

At Medsensio, our mission is to empower the research community with tools that bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world application. The successful integration of Whombat into our cloud service is a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence in medical research.


Our solution not only addresses the immediate challenges of data annotation but also lays the groundwork for future advancements in medical diagnostics. As the research landscape continues to evolve, having a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective annotation tool is crucial for staying ahead of the curve.
