Learn ultrasound intuitively: move the probe and see how anatomy creates the image.
PoCUS Pocket Trainer is an interactive point-of-care ultrasound simulator designed to teach probe positioning and spatial anatomy.
Move a virtual ultrasound probe across a realistic 3D human body and watch the ultrasound image update in real time. Reveal the anatomy beneath the skin and see how organ position creates the ultrasound view.
The app trains the most difficult part of learning ultrasound: understanding how probe position translates into the image. By directly linking probe movement, anatomy, and ultrasound appearance, users develop an intuitive spatial understanding of ultrasound.
PoCUS Pocket Trainer is a portable training tool for practicing ultrasound anytime, anywhere – without a patient or ultrasound machine.
