EchoNous Partners with Mendaera to Revolutionize Image-Guided Intervention

REDMOND, Wash. and SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — EchoNous, a pioneer in portable ultrasound technology, has announced a commercial partnership with Mendaera, a Silicon Valley-based healthcare technology company developing robotics and AI for mainstream medical procedures. This partnership is set to revolutionize the delivery of high-quality interventional care by enabling compatibility between EchoNous’ advanced ultrasound platform, Kosmos, and Mendaera’s handheld robotic interventional platform.

Mendaera’s robotic platform, combined with the latest in ultrasound imaging technology, is designed to augment skills and enable more providers to safely and effectively perform prevalent, critical, percutaneous procedures across specialties and sites of care. Mendaera, like EchoNous, is focused on solving today’s healthcare challenges by making advanced technology accessible at the point of care to ensure providers and systems can efficiently deliver quality care whenever and wherever it is needed.

“Our collaboration with Mendaera marks a pivotal moment in our mission to equip healthcare providers with the most advanced tools available,” stated EchoNous CEO, Graham Cox. “Mendaera is poised to improve hundreds of millions of patient encounters each year and provide a meaningful solution to meet today’s growing supply and demand challenges. We are excited to be working with a company that shares our desire to elevate access to a higher standard of ultrasound-guided intervention.”

“Technology that empowers healthcare systems to improve care as well as the way it is delivered is especially critical for commonplace image-guided interventions across the healthcare system, where the supply and demand crisis is particularly acute,” stated Josh DeFonzo, Co-Founder and CEO of Mendaera. “The EchoNous technology is an ideal complement to the Mendaera platform, providing high-quality imaging to our customers as they seek to provide the best care to their patients.”

Once commercialized, Mendaera will offer the EchoNous Kosmos ultrasound technology as an imaging option available to its robotic customers.
