Aiding COPD and CHF Ultrasound-guided Management Through ENhanced Point Of Care UltraSound

Point of care ultrasound of the lungs will be performed to enhance physical assessments as needed to make clinical decisions for patients with CHF, COPD and/or pneumonia. The majority of images will be acquired and uploaded to a web-based portal by community paramedics in patients' homes and interpreted remotely by hospital-based physicians on call for the home hospital.

PRESUNA is a new medical software that enables clinicians to summarize POCUS findings and document them on a platform that provides a visual summary of findings over time. PRESUNA also provides POCUS educators and learners to see the learners' progress over time in terms of the accuracy of their assessments when compared to POCUS experts providing longitudinal mentorship.
