In the demanding and ever-changing world of emergency medicine, every second counts. That's why we're delighted to announce a partnership between echOpen and the Association des Jeunes Médecins Urgentistes (AJMU). This collaboration aims to enhance the practice of emergency medicine and improve patient management in emergency situations by integrating clinical ultrasound into the physical examination. This use of ultrasound has already proved its worth in numerous studies, with an 18% reduction in in-hospital mortality and a 162-minute reduction in time spent in the emergency department.
What isechOpen ?
echOpen is a start-up whose mission is to make clinical ultrasound accessible to all healthcare professionals. Versatile, reliable and efficient, the echOpen O1 probe connects to any smartphone to enrich clinical examinations in any environment. By developing ultra-portable, affordable and easy-to-use ultrasound scanners, echOpen enables emergency physicians to enrich their clinical examination with an imaging solution that brings together the essentials of clinical ultrasound. Even in resource-constrained environments, this innovative solution is designed to be robust, intuitive and tailored to the specific needs of emergency physicians.
Clinical ultrasound, essential in emergency medicine
Clinical ultrasound is an essential diagnostic tool in emergency medicine. It enables rapid and accurate assessment of the patient, facilitating clinical orientation from the very first contact. Whether to diagnose a pneumothorax, assess cardiac function or identify internal trauma, ultrasound offers crucial information in real time. For young emergency physicians, training in clinical ultrasound has become essential to improve the quality of care, reduce waiting times and fluidify the flow in the emergency room.
A partnership on several fronts
The AJMU x echOpen partnership will take the form of a series of initiatives aimed at strengthening the clinical ultrasound skills of young emergency physicians:
Online training modules and educational resources will be developed specifically for AJMU members, enabling them to learn at their own pace. In addition, hands-on training sessions will be co-organized by echOpen and the AJMU, offering learning opportunities in the presence of experts in the field.
In addition, the two entities will collaborate to take part in conferences, seminars and other specialized events, boosting the visibility and impact of clinical ultrasound in emergency medicine.

"This partnership between echOpen and the AJMU represents a major step forward for emergency medicine. By making clinical ultrasound more accessible and offering training opportunities at everyone's pace, we hope to improve the skills of young emergency physicians and, consequently, the quality of patient care. Join us on this adventure and discover how clinical ultrasound can make all the difference in your daily practice." Dr Mehdi Benchoufi, public health physician and co-founder ofechOpen.
"For several years now, emergency ultrasound (POCUS or ECMU) has been democratized, to the benefit of the patient. Emergency physicians are increasingly well-trained, and often complement their clinical examinations with "a little ultrasound". The AJMU is particularly proud to be a partner of a French start-up, founded by a doctor who is committed to the universalization of ultrasound. Indeed, echOpen probes are not only particularly practical and wireless, they are also affordable and within the reach of virtually all interns and doctors. No more excuses for not taking out your probe in all circumstances." Clarisse Le Guiff, President of AJMU.
