Ultrasound developer Fujifilm SonoSite and the Floating Doctors have created a six-part video series titled "Bridging the Gap" to promote the use of handheld ultrasound in remote locations.
The Floating Doctors is a nonprofit organization that uses open boats to reach people in coastal communities who do not have access to modern healthcare.
The video series is designed to educate the general public about handheld ultrasound, according to the organizations. It will show how exams can prevent incidents such as a breech birth in the jungle or be used to diagnose a child with a serious heart condition, for example.
