Many areas of non-acute care require imaging to monitor disease progression and assess treatment options. However, high costs, long wait times, and the burden of frequent scans create major barriers to timely, effective care.
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) helps address these challenges by enabling more frequent and flexible scanning without sacrificing image quality. Using handheld devices to eliminate the restrictions of traditional cart-based systems, clinicians and nurses across multiple areas of non-acute care benefit from:
This makes POCUS essential for non-acute care over the coming years. But where exactly can the technology deliver the most value for non-acute care?
Joint and soft tissue disorders represent one of ultrasound's most valuable applications in chronic care. The technology excels at visualizing inflammation and structural changes that traditional X-rays may not detect certain soft tissue changes, with key use cases including:
Cardiac and vascular ultrasound provides essential monitoring for heart failure patients and peripheral vascular disease. These assessments guide treatment decisions and prevent acute complications through early intervention for:
Lung ultrasound has transformed respiratory care by revealing pathology invisible to traditional chest X-rays. POCUS increasingly complements stethoscope examinations in primary care settings to help clinicians identify:
Kidney and urological assessments benefit significantly from ultrasound's ability to evaluate both structure and function. These examinations guide treatment decisions and monitor disease progression effectively, enabling clinicians to evaluate:
Abdominal ultrasound provides crucial insights into chronic liver disease and digestive disorders. Regular monitoring prevents acute complications and guides therapeutic interventions for:
Hormonal disorders require ongoing surveillance that ultrasound delivers safely and efficiently. These assessments support treatment planning and monitor therapeutic responses over time for:
Reproductive health conditions benefit from ultrasound's detailed soft tissue visualization capabilities. These examinations support diagnosis, monitor treatment responses, and guide intervention timing, providing particular value when looking at:
Vave Health is the world's first wireless, handheld, whole-body ultrasound with a single PZT transducer. It is trusted by providers across all areas of non-acute care to produce high-quality images that direct treatment and improve care. It’s also widely used in acute care settings; read more about how clinicians rely on Vave in acute care here. And we make it easy to adopt, with:
