Documentation

New distance assessment feature: an update that changes the ultrasound exploration experience

At echOpen, each new version of the mobile app is designed with a clear goal in mind: to make ultrasound more accessible, smoother, and more intuitive for all healthcare professionals. Version 2.40 is fully in line with this approach, introducing three major developments that improve the analysis, teaching, and continuity of your consultations.

A new distance assessment tool

Version 2.40 also introduces a distance measurement tool, which can only be used when the image is frozen.

What this tool enables

  • Measure the distance between two points on a still image.
  • Obtain a more objective assessment of certain distances.
  • Enrich staff discussions, educational analyses, and reviews.

A redesigned home page for faster, more advanced browsing

The third new feature in this version concerns the overall ergonomics of the application. The homepage has been completely redesigned to offer a more fluid and consistent experience.

What's changing

  • Faster connection to the probe and faster launch of consultation.
  • Simplified access to recent consultations.
  • Direct access to My echOpen, your personal HDS cloud space, previously hidden in the settings.

What this brings

  • Better continuity between the exam taken on mobile devices and the content available in the cloud.
  • Easy access to training courses, saved consultations, and your personal resources.
  • More intuitive navigation, designed to adapt to your daily routine.

Freeze to analyze better: the new Freeze button

One of the most frequent requests from the echOpen community echOpen the ability to freeze the ultrasound image during consultation. This is now possible thanks to the new Freeze button.

Why it's useful

  • Take the time to observe an image without pressure.
  • Facilitate clinical interpretation, especially in situations where every detail counts.
  • Improve teaching methods, proofreading, and peer exchanges.
  • Provide immediate comfort in the consultation flow.

This button quickly becomes second nature: a simple gesture that opens the door to a more calm and accurate analysis.

An update focused on real-world use

Version 2.40 is not just a technical upgrade: it responds to specific needs expressed by users. It improves analysis, enhances teaching, and streamlines access to data. It also paves the way for the next stages of the echOpen ecosystem.
