KATHMANDU: Wipro GE Healthcare, a leading global medical technology, diagnostics, and digital solutions innovator has announced the launch of Vscan Air to enhance point-of-care imaging capabilities in Nepal, enabling accessibility to remote locations.

The wireless, handheld ultrasound system is designed to enable wholebody scanning at the point-of-care, empowering healthcare professionals to make faster decisions with confidence, at a low cost across a variety of care settings, as per a press statement.

Vscan Air is designed with a touch screen interface and intelligent applications with the help of technology that has been precisely crafted to facilitate personalised and intuitive patient scanning.

Up until now, high quality images have required large and expensive hardware.

For handheld ultrasound this has meant small and ergonomic devices come at the expense of lower image quality. Vscan Air puts all of this into a technology without compromise on image quality.
