Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) developer Fujifilm Sonosite is launching the Sonosite Voice Assist application, a voice command feature that allows users to control Sonosite PX and Sonosite LX systems hands-free during sterile or clean procedures.
The Voice Assist is activated with a simple voice command, “Activate Voice." It allows users to freeze and save images, adjust gain settings, and add color flow, all through voice commands. The company highlighted that this feature could potentially reduce healthcare provider costs and streamline workflow by eliminating the need for an assistant to be in the room to help complete an exam or procedure.
