Single-user license
e Sono EMS POCUS Basic
Online simulation-based ultrasound training for paramedics, advanced EMTs, and prehospital teams. Practice 76 hands-on scanning exercises using real clinical scans — no hardware required.
Why e Sono
Built for prehospital POCUS education
No hardware needed
Learners practice anywhere on desktop, laptop, or tablet. An optional smartphone probe controller is available for iOS and Android.
Immediate feedback
Automated evaluation and expert reference views after each exercise support independent progress without an instructor present.
Real patient scans
The course uses actual clinical ultrasound data, giving learners realistic image-recognition experience before touching a probe.
Scalable for organizations
Multi-user licenses support EMS schools, ambulance services, simulation centers, and universities training multiple providers at once.
EMS-focused scenarios
Scenarios reflect real prehospital presentations: dyspnea, respiratory distress, suspected pulmonary disease, cardiac dysfunction, and trauma.
Guided with demos
Live demonstration videos accompany every ultrasound view, covering probe position, image acquisition, and view optimization.
