The JARCA (Journées Associatives de Robot Chirurgie et d’Anatomie) is an event organized by 3 associations of young surgeons (interns, CCAs, assistants): AJCV (Association des Jeunes Chirurgiens Viscéraux), AFUF (Association Française des Urologues en Formation) and AGOF (Association des Gynécologues Obstétriciens en Formation).

Each year, it brings together:

• Medical and simulation experts

• Young surgeons, urologists, and obstetrician-gynecologists

• Interns

All committed to the same goal: sharing the latest technological advances and innovative surgical practices.

This year, we’re heading to the Rouen Medical Training Center for what promises to be an exceptional edition. The focus will be on the latest innovations in robotic surgery and the clinical applications of anatomy. InSimo will present ROBOTiS simulator, an innovative solution enabling practitioners to train in advanced suturing and dissection in robotic surgery, enhancing training and procedure safety.

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.

Dr Mehdi Benchoufi
echOpen – CEO

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.

One year ahead of the presidential elections, health is no longer just a medical issue: it is strategic, economic, and ethical. The Impacts Santé Forum explores the major challenges that will shape our public policies: sovereignty in research and pharmaceuticals, technological innovation, prevention, mental health, and equitable access to care.

Researchers, philosophers, and industry leaders confront their perspectives to help guide the decisions that will shape our collective resilience. Here, each debate sheds light on the role of the State, businesses, and citizens in building a healthcare system capable of protecting all French people, today and tomorrow.

An event aligned with InSimo’s vision: democratizing access to high-quality medical training and improving the learning curve of healthcare professionals through high-fidelity, accessible, and compact simulators.
