Pocket-Sized scanner aims to save lives in remote clinics

NCT ID NCT05765539

Summary

This study tested a simple, handheld ultrasound device to see if midwives in Senegal could use it to check on pregnancies in areas with limited medical equipment. Researchers compared the images from this portable probe to those from a standard ultrasound machine during routine third-trimester check-ups. The goal was to see if this easy-to-use tool could help identify potential problems and improve care for mothers and babies in remote settings.
