6. Ultrasound on the Go
Clarius's Handheld Wireless Ultrasound Scanner moves easily
from bedside to bedside and into the OR, where anesthesia providers
can use the portable imaging technology to improve views of joints in
order to place effective intra-articular injections. Captured images can
be instantly uploaded to the company's cloud platform, where they
can be edited, reviewed and shared. The wireless device eliminates
another set of cords in patient care areas and allow for WiFi connec-
tion to iPads, iPhones or Android devices. The image quality might
not yet match the views provided by conventional platforms, but this
handheld device represents a big step forward in ultrasound imaging.
