VHH and AdEchoTech team up on new initiative to expand ultrasound access in remote communities

 

Published October 1, 2025

Virtual Health Hub is proud to announce the launch of the Centre of Excellence for Robotic Ultrasonography in collaboration with AdEchoTech! The official announcement, along with a live demonstration of the leading-edge MELODY robotic ultrasound imaging system, took place at our downtown Saskatoon office space on October 1, 2025, with representatives joining us from France.

VHH and AdEchoTech are world leaders in robotic ultrasonography. This state-of-the-art equipment will help deploy a hybrid healthcare solution to increase the level of these services and quality of care in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across our province and beyond. This Centre will lead the training of the next generation of technologists, with VHH continuing to work with our partner Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies (SIIT) to educate on-site Virtual Health Hub Assistants in the operation of the technology to provide robotic ultrasonography services in their own communities.
