Clinical Partner — De Cure Center

Advanced Prosthetics & Phantom Lab

An ocularist's knowledge of the shape of the eye and orbit, and a Phantom Lab that produces ultrasound scans with a known right answer, so every MERIT AI measurement can be checked before it meets a patient.

Phantom Lab

Phantom Lab & Butterfly iQ3

Synthetic ultrasound data generation for AI training.

Phantom Lab (Portland, OR)

175 training images · 600 frames per scan. Synthetic phantom tissue models providing controlled, reproducible ultrasound training data. Managed by Dan Khazaei (Segmentation & Annotation Lead).

De Cure Phantom Lab (Bengaluru)

Inaugurated April 26, 2026. Butterfly iQ3 portable probe training, phantom tissue imaging, and Phase 2 data collection for the MERIT AI pipeline.

Butterfly iQ3 Portable Probe

Wireless, pocket-sized ultrasound probe used for research scanning and Academy training. Its exported images are what MERIT AI measures.

How prosthetics expertise informs MERIT AI

Jibran Munaver's 12+ years of hands-on ocular prosthetics expertise provides a unique clinical lens on orbital anatomy, tissue properties, and structural variation — directly informing how MERIT AI is trained to recognise and interpret orbital structures in ultrasound images. It is the reason the project began with the shape of the globe.
