point of care ultrasound
POCUS
POCUS is an acronym that stands for point of care ultrasound. This type of ultrasound is different from traditional ultrasounds in that it does not require a large machine or special equipment. Instead, POCUS can be performed using portable devices that are about the size of a smartphone. POCUS is seeing with sound, where the clinician managing the patient is actively acquiring, interpreting and clinically integrating focused ultrasound in real time to help make medical decisions at the patient’s bedside.
Technology has reached the point where the hand held ultrasound device will replace the stethoscope in this generation of medicine, hand in hand from this point of the journey will be POCUS Spray.
The latest innovations in point of care ultrasound include
1.The development of a new coupling agent called POCUS Spray that is perfect for Point of Care Ultrasound ... in fact the 50ml personal pocket sized bottle just makes perfect sense.
2. Artificial intelligence (AI) to improve accuracy and speed of diagnosis.
3. Newer ultrasound probes with improved image quality.
4. Portable ultrasound devices that are smaller and more versatile.
5. Integration with electronic medical records to enable more accurate diagnoses.
6. The use of augmented reality (AR) to display images in 3D.
7. Enhanced imaging capabilities with better resolution and image clarity.
