(the "Group" or the "Company" or "Intelligent Ultrasound")
Support programme in improving global healthcare
Intelligent Ultrasound plc (AIM: IUG), the 'classroom to clinic' ultrasound
company, specialising in artificial intelligence (AI) software and simulation,
announces it will be supporting the World Federation for Ultrasound in
Medicine and Biology ("WFUMB") in its mission to bring sustainable ultrasound
programmes to the underserved areas of the world to improve global healthcare
through collaboration, communication and education.
The partnership will see Intelligent Ultrasound donate a number of its world
leading ultrasound training simulators to WFUMB to support their ongoing
ultrasound education programme.
The simulators include the ScanTrainer Compact obstetrics and gynaecology
ultrasound simulator and the new BabyWorks neonate and paediatric training
simulator that was launched at the beginning of this year.
Intelligent Ultrasound will also provide training for WFUMBs congresses and
regional Centre of Education courses using its new web-based training facility
in Cardiff.
Two of the key WFUMB events in 2023 will be the education courses that will be
held at EUROSON 2023 in Riga, Latvia in May and the WFUMB Congress to be held
in Muscat, Oman in November.
Cristina Chammas, President and Jacques Abramowicz, President-Elect of WFUMB
said: "This amazing donation of a ScanTrainer and BabyWorks for obstetrics,
gynaecology and paediatric ultrasound members and trainees will provide
invaluable hands-on experience at our worldwide Centres of Education courses
and congresses."
Stuart Gall, CEO of Intelligent Ultrasound added: "We are delighted to be
working with WFUMB to support their ongoing mission to bring sustainable
ultrasound programmes to the underserved areas of the world. Education is a
key part of this programme and the ScanTrainer and BabyWorks simulators are
simulation at its best, providing very realistic practice in necessary and
potentially lifesaving skills that are otherwise quite difficult to teach at
the bedside. We look forward to working with WFUMB and supporting them in
their excellent education programmes."
