Changing Global Medicine through Ultrasound Technology
OUR MISSION
Imaging the World is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that uses a technology-enabled solution to improve healthcare access, integrating life-saving ultrasound and training programs in rural communities.
ABOUT US
Our work ensures the highest quality results for patients through effective training and supervision of frontline healthcare workers, combined with innovative ultrasound technology. Images are sent securely over cellular networks for proctored monitoring, safety peer review, and consultation. Capacity strengthening at higher levels of care ensures that referrals are well managed. To our knowledge, no other ultrasound outreach program offers a similar robust tele-ultrasound peer review program.
OUR MODEL
The Imaging the World (ITW) model reshapes rural healthcare by building human and technical capacity to offer top-flight ultrasound imaging services in rural locations. We use commercially available, portable, hand-held devices that meet certain criteria, including diagnostic quality, scan features that match local use-cases, cost, ease of use, portability, serviceability and security. This technology is easily procured, easy to learn, and easy to teach.
WHY IT WORKS
Imaging the World Africa has been working in Uganda for 11 years, accruing substantial proof of concept. Our work has shown, effective training and supervision of nurses and midwives, combined with innovative, proprietary tele-ultrasound technology, ensures the highest quality results for rural patients. Images are sent securely over cellular networks for proctored monitoring, safety peer review, and consultation. Capacity strengthening at higher levels of care ensures that referrals are well-managed. To our knowledge, no other ultrasound outreach program offers a similar robust tele-ultrasound peer review program.
