Advanced simulation-based ultrasound training for paramedics and prehospital teams ready to apply POCUS in complex, high-acuity scenarios. From shock differentiation to full eFAST — no hardware required.
Why e Sono
Scenarios cover shock differentiation, complex trauma, ARDS, pulmonary embolism, and resuscitation — reflecting the full complexity of critical prehospital care.
All 60 exercises use actual clinical ultrasound data, giving learners authentic exposure to advanced pathology before encountering it in the field.
Automated evaluation and expert reference views after each exercise support independent progress without an instructor present.
Train anywhere on desktop, laptop, or tablet. An optional smartphone probe controller is available for iOS and Android.
Multi-user licenses support ALS programs, critical care transport teams, EMS educators, and simulation centers training multiple providers at once.
Live demonstration videos accompany every advanced view, covering step-by-step probe positioning, image acquisition, and view optimization.

Platform features
Every advanced ultrasound view is accompanied by a real patient demonstration video covering probe position and scanning technique.
Integrated patient monitor with ECG, SpO², blood pressure, and capnography reflects authentic emergency care workflows in each scenario.
Realistic virtual patient models across all high-acuity EMS simulation scenarios.
Depth, gain, annotations, measurements — mirroring real machine workflows.
Immediate feedback with expert reference views after every exercise.
Embedded clinical reasoning questions reinforce interpretation and decision-making alongside image acquisition tasks.
On-screen orientation aids help learners understand probe-to-anatomy relationships for complex views.
e Sono Phone Probe turns a smartphone into a probe controller (iOS and Android).

The e Sono Phone Probe app turns your smartphone into a physical probe controller. Holding and tilting your phone the way you would hold a real probe builds hand-eye coordination and a better feel for probe positioning — without needing a manikin or lab time. Free to download. An active e Sono license is required. |
