Clarius Mobile Health soon to offer handheld ultrasound compatible with iOS, Android
Clarius Mobile Health's wireless, handheld ultrasound scanner has a mobile application for iOA and Android smart devices.
"Physicians have been asking for a portable ultrasound system that works with their iPhone for some time," said Laurent Pelissier, chairman and CEO of Clarius Mobile Health, in a release. "The challenge has been to make an affordable device that is small enough to carry around and that also produces great images. I'm happy to say we've succeeded in creating a product that will enable more clinicians to use ultrasound anywhere to improve patient care. It's as easy to use as a mobile phone camera."
With automated adjustments and an intuitive interface, the personal ultrasound device is designed to be carried around for quick exams and to guide procedures such as nerve blocks and targeted injections, according to the company.Pending regulatory clearance from the FDA, CE and Health Canada, Clarius Mobile Health will offer several mobile scanners for the price of a single traditional compact system.
