EchoNous – Filling the Access Gap for Essential Ultrasound Tools
Despite the widely recognized benefits of point-of-care ultrasound, fewer than 40% of rural counties in the U.S. can offer residents any access. Kevin Goodwin, Founder and CEO of EchoNous, discusses how the company is closing this gap by delivering powerful, handheld ultrasound at the point of care – having developed a tool that is capable of producing diagnostic-quality images paired with AI guidance. He also talks about his experience in creating a new market and tips for founders.
Kevin Goodwin started his ultrasound career in 1987 and has 31 years of industry experience in which 20 of the years have focused specifically on the democratization of point-of-care ultrasound. Prior to his founding of EchoNous, Kevin served for 17 years as founder and CEO of the multinational, point-of-care innovator, SonoSite, Inc., whose innovative ultrasound systems like the MicroMaxx, NanoMaxx, M-Turbo, and S-Series created the market for point-of-care ultrasound. Kevin brings his singular passion for advancing the state of the art in ultrasound to EchoNous, whose flagship device is the first AI-guided POCUS tool uniting diagnostic-quality heart, lung, and abdominal scans with CW/PW Doppler, ECG, and Digital auscultation in a handheld device.
