Ultrasound Mentor

One Platform for All Your Ultrasound Training Needs

Simbionix Ultrasound Mentor is the answer to the growing need for ultrasound training among multiple medical specialties. This modular simulation platform enables easy manikin rotation (male, female, pediatric and interventional), and offers diverse applications for a range of specialties such as OB/GYN, Point-of-care Ultrasound (POCUS) and Echocardiography.

Ultrasound Mentor accelerates the development of basic to advanced technical and cognitive skills, by providing not only the probe manipulation training, but also a didactic environment enabling structured, self-guided learning including step-by-step instructions and educational aids such as 3D anatomical map and probe positioning assistant, all backed up with our progress monitoring tool MentorLearn.

Validation Studies

Objective structured clinical examination in basic thoracic ultrasound: a European study of validity evidence Pietersen PI et al, BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2023

We developed a test for the assessment of clinical competences in basic thoracic ultrasound with solid validity evidence, and a pass/fail standard with no false positives or false negatives.
