The world is changing fast thanks to the fast pace of technological development. Hand-held
ultrasound devices offer intuitive pocket-sized ultrasound capabilities that enable clinicians to easily
image patients at the point of care, transforming the physical exam with more information to determine
the optimised course of treatment. They fit in the palm of a hand, helping general practitioners
accelerate treatment decisions at the bedside. Hand-held ultrasound devices are invaluable tools for
making a difference in your practice, improving outcomes, enhancing workflows and reducing the
overall cost of care. They are the new stethoscope of the future. Today, general practitioners do not
only have to rely on hearing sounds, they can see pathologies and streamline patient care.
