Our Mission
At U-Image, we know how crucial high-quality ultrasound images are for physicians to treat patients. There were 6 development pillars that U-image identified as essential in the development of a viable POCUS product for Africa.
​
-
The device must be durable and withstand physical abuse
-
It must be affordable
-
Have a long battery life to provide many scans between charges.
-
The device must not depend on the internet to enable its use
-
It must produce a high-quality image.
-
Must be accompanied by a peer network and have cloud-based storage
Our mission is to bring POCUS to every medical facility and healthcare professional that needs it. By addressing these points above we belive we can do so.
