Abstract

The article presents the peculiarities of the use of a successful Ukrainian startup HandyUsound in medical practice. HandyUsound is an innovative ultrasound complex, which, according to its characteristics (portability, lightweight, a possibility of autonomous power supply, intuitive touch control, newest innovative technologies (attenuation coefficient measurement – ACM, strain elastography – SE and more) similar to large ultrasound systems of the expert level, affordable price) has no analogues in the world markets of medical equipment. In particular, ACM allows solving the problem of screening and early diagnosis of such a challenge to the health care system as the fatty liver disease (FLD) pandemic. SE has become especially widely used in oncology for the purpose of differential diagnosis of malignant and benign tumors from the standpoint of evidence-based medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the integration of a ready-made standardized lung ultrasound (LUS) protocol into this hand held US device (HHUSD) according to WFUMB/EFSUMB Guidelines. In addition to the standard applications of expert US devices, this product has an advanced cardiovascular package with continuous wave, tissue and trans-cranial Doppler (CWD, TD, TCD). Intelligent acoustic adaptation allows the operator to automatically optimize B-mode and Doppler.
