About MedaPhor (www.medaphor.com)
MedaPhor (AIM: MED) is a global provider of advanced ultrasound
skills training simulators for medical professionals. Founded in
2004, the Company is headquartered in Cardiff, UK and San Diego,
USA, with customers in over 20 countries across the world.
Following its recent acquisition of Inventive Medical, the
company now has three of the world's leading ultrasound training
and examination simulators - ScanTrainer, HeartWorks and
ScanExaminer:
ScanTrainer Professional is a world-leading ultrasound skills
training simulator and CPD platform offering an immersive, 24/7
self-learning experience. Features include real feel haptic
feedback, real full anatomy scans, real-time expert guidance,
structured curriculum learning, metric-based assessment and an
extensive cloud pathology library with the unique ability to add
your own patient scans. ScanTrainer's flexible education platform
empowers faster and better learning at any stage of a doctor or
sonographer's medical career.
HeartWorks, developed by leading cardiac anesthesiologists at
University College London Hospitals, the HeartWorks simulators and
online training materials are recognised as one of the most
true-to-life and comprehensive educational tools for Transthoracic
and Transoesophageal echocardiography. Medical practitioners can
learn the complete anatomy of the heart, practise acquiring
ultrasound images though correct probe positioning on a simulator,
interpret those images to determine correct diagnosis and
treatment, and finally be tested to ensure that all required
competencies have been achieved to the highest standard.
ScanExaminer is MedaPhor's new ultrasound skills examination
simulator for hospitals and examination bodies which offers
examiners a library of pathologies and normal patient scans,
combined with a realistic, virtual reality based scanning
experience, with which to comprehensively test a clinician's
ultrasound examination skills.
