As a general practitioner in a rural area and a firefighter-doctor in the Massif Central, Dr. Hebrard shares his experience with the echOpen probe echOpen community-based care.
I have a base of 20 consultations a day. I take out the echo on 4 or 5 of them, when there's a real question.
On a day-to-day basis, echOpen provides a quick answer to simple questions, without having to call in the radiologist for an ultrasound scan. It also enables rapid mapping.
Clinical ultrasound is a complementary tool to the patient's daily clinical examination. The echOpen probe provides a very useful orientation for subsequent management. It offers the possibility of obtaining a large general and orientation diagram.
echOpen turns hypothesis into certainty. Ultrasound is the biggest revolution in medicine in a century!
Training modules are ideal for self-study: everything you need is in one place.
An extremely competitive device designed for use by non-expert doctors.
echOpen is fully adapted to medical and paramedical practice for first-line examinations.
I'm lucky enough to have seen the birth of echOpen and its ultraportable ultrasound scanner at Hotel-Dieu. I've come to understand that this equipment is today's diagnostic and democratic tool!
Portable, personal clinical ultrasound probes significantly improve patient care. They enable earlier, safer pre-diagnosis, and improve the relationship between professional and patient. On a hospital scale or, more generally, in terms of healthcare organization, they can also represent significant cost savings.
Ultraportable clinical ultrasound probes have the advantage of being personal: they are immediately available, either in your pocket or in every room of the department.
