Participants will gain insight into the operational model of the Virtual Health Hub, the collaborative efforts behind its success, and its potential to transform care delivery in underserved areas.

Learning Objectives:

Understand how the Virtual Health Hub uses telerobotic ultrasound to overcome access challenges in remote healthcare.

Explore the practical application of the Melody system from AdEchoTech in clinical settings.

Identify the benefits and limitations of alternative ultrasound modalities beyond conventional practices.
