Ultrasound Simulation 5G

Preface

An ultrasound simulator is a great tool for improving students understating of Sonography, Anatomy, and Pathology. Using real ultrasound machines for teaching ultrasound, where students practice on each other is of course the gold standard, nothing can beat the real thing. Although the lack of enough equipment, image quality consistency, ability to examine pathologies, and student privacy concerns makes it challenging.

Most ultrasound simulators in the market are heavy, bulky, or require hardware that students can’t take home.

With the COVID-19 situation, lots of universities all over the world have been shut down and moved to teach with Zoom, which made ultrasound practicing not accessible.

At Innoging, at the very beginning, we decided never to compromise on two key elements: ease of use (both for teachers and students), and image quality.

That’s why we made our simulator completely web-based — no installation required, where any number of students can practice at home at once.

Innoging features:

Web-based

Accessed easily from home, no installation/setup required. No software updates — you always get the latest version.

Can be used by thousands of students simultaneously.

Sign-in screen

Easy to use

Students sign in with a username and password and start working instantly with the probe’s drag-and-drop user interface.

It’s very easy to create new classes and new content with the interactive teacher dashboard. You can create courses, lessons, exercises, and exams, and generate grade reports.

Open platform

Upload your own content — the simulator supports 2D/3D/4D scans, or use one of the hundreds of available scans in our database.

As a researcher, you can get access to the Innoging API which allows you to develop your own hardware to manipulate the virtual probe.

The company also has patented hardware (probe and pad)— to get a more realistic scanning feeling.

Unique features

With the Innoging Simulator, you can place multiple scans at the same exercise. You can also place the scans anywhere you want on the virtual mannequin.

Conclusion

Ultrasound simulators serve as an important complementary tool for teaching ultrasound. A web-based ultrasound simulator — or a ‘simulator as a service’ allows students to practice and to be tested from virtually anywhere, which is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic.
