UbiquiSon - Ubiquitous ultrasound; machines within the reach of every clinician, all the time.

UbiquiSon项目旨在实现无处不在的超声波的诱人前景——让每个临床医生随时都能接触到超声波。从本质上讲，目标是生产低成本，高度便携的设备，能够产生临床医生需要和渴望的高质量图像，在广泛的临床环境中具有显著的好处。超声无处不在的四个临床影响已被确定：(1)更快地获得超声；(2)拓宽超声通道；(3)降低临床风险；(4)改变临床行为。预计这将改善患者护理并大幅提高医疗保健效率。这些创新的超声波设备的成本将足够低，使其购买成为可自由支配支出的一部分。专有的SmartUS技术使这一飞跃成为可能。

The UbiquiSon project is about realising the enticing prospect of ubiquitous ultrasound - putting ultrasound within the reach of every clinician, all the time. In essence the goal is to produce low-cost, highly portably devices that are capable of generating the high quality images that clinicians need and desire, with significant benefit in a wide range of clinical settings. Four clinical impacts of ubiquitous ultrasound have been identified: (1) Faster access to ultrasound; (2) Broader access to ultrasound; (3) Reduced clinical risk and (4) Change in clinical behaviour. The expectation is that this will lead to both improved patient care and substantial healthcare efficiency improvements. The cost of these innovative ultrasound machines will be low enough to make their purchases part of discretionary spend. The proprietary SmartUS technology is what makes this leap feasible.
