InSimo, a company specializing in the development of high-fidelity simulation software for medical training, and echOpen, a startup dedicated to making clinical ultrasound accessible to all healthcare professionals through its connected, ultra-portable probe, are announcing a strategic partnership to democratize the use of ultrasound by bridging the gap between training and clinical practice. 

Clinical ultrasound: a key asset in both diagnostic and therapeutic management of patients

Clinical ultrasound is a powerful tool – non-ionizing, non-invasive, and painless – whose effectiveness is widely recognized. It reveals information invisible to the naked eye, essential for establishing a fast and accurate diagnosis, and helps answer simple, binary questions such as “Is it serious or not?” or “Which organs are affected?”.

Performed directly by the physician (general practitioner, emergency physician, or hospital clinician), clinical ultrasound complements and significantly enhances the traditional physical examination by providing real-time visualization of internal organs and enabling rapid confirmation or exclusion of a diagnostic hypothesis. For the patient, it is reassuring and contributes to faster care delivery.

A unique partnership for a complete training pathway: from simulation to a real ultrasound probe

echOpen and InSimo are partnering to offer dedicated packages designed to fully leverage the complementarity of their solutions.

As part of this partnership, customers of each organization benefit from reciprocal special offers: €100 (incl. VAT) off an annual diSplay U/S subscription for purchasers of an echOpen O1 probe, and €160 (incl. VAT) off an echOpen O1 probe for new annual diSplay U/S subscribers.

Clinical ultrasound represents a major evolution in medical practice: it enhances the physical examination with real-time imaging, at the patient’s bedside and at the very moment clinical decisions are made.

To make this tool available to all healthcare professionals, it is essential to provide both a device that is affordable and easy to integrate into daily practice, and strong support for learning and mastering the technique. This is precisely the purpose of the partnership between echOpen and InSimo: to bridge simulation-based training and hands-on practice with a real ultrasound probe, helping healthcare professionals adopt clinical ultrasound in a progressive, practical, and confident manner. The stakes are high: strengthening diagnostic decision-making, improving the quality of care, and supporting healthcare professionals more broadly as they embrace this transformation.

Pierre-Jean Bensoussan
InSimo – CEO

echOpen and InSimo share a common ambition: to make ultrasound accessible to as many healthcare professionals as possible around the world. I am thrilled about this first partnership, which integrates simulation-based training into the support provided to echOpen O1 probe users in their clinical practice. I firmly believe that the democratization of ultrasound can only be achieved through both affordable equipment and a strong commitment to training.

By joining forces, echOpen and InSimo are providing a high-quality, practical response to this public health challenge.
