Every patient’s healthcare journey is different, but the amount of data generated at every point of care is growing for each and every patient. Electronic health records (EHR) are the modern standard for collecting disparate patient data and aggregating it into one comprehensive picture of each patient’s health. EHR integration is critical at the point … Continue reading

Ultrasound is generally a noninvasive procedure. In most cases, probes are applied externally, and even contrast-enhanced ultrasound — which requires an injection of microbubbles — is relatively painless. Still, there’s a constant push to make procedures simpler and easier on patients, which is why scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) set out to … Continue reading

The evolution of technology is almost always synonymous with a shrinking device footprint. Monolithic computers from the 1960s shrunk down to the personal laptops we use today, and it’s the same with televisions, mobile phones, and nearly every other electronic device. Medical devices are no exception, and there’s no better example of powerful tech in … Continue reading

For sensitive medical equipment, including ultrasound probes, rigorous quality assurance (QA) is necessary to ensure instruments perform as expected. This is especially true over time, as probes rack up hours of use in the field, where they’re subject to wear and tear. Tissue-mimicking phantoms (TMP) are a critical component in probe testing and calibration. How … Continue reading
