Teleultrasound
Remote instruction. Immersive scanning. One shared view.
The Deepscope teleultrasound system connects a learner in a VR headset with an instructor on an ordinary computer — anywhere in the world. The instructor sees exactly what the student sees, including the live ultrasound screen, and guides them through a scan with ease.
How It Works
Two people, two places, one scan.
The Learner
In the headset
The student scans in the fully immersive Deepscope VR environment, handling the virtual probe and viewing the live ultrasound image in real time. Their entire view — probe position, anatomy and screen — is shared as they work.
The Instructor
On any computer
A remote instructor follows the learner's view and the ultrasound screen from a standard computer — no headset required — and talks them through probe placement, optimisation and interpretation as the scan unfolds.
In Practice
Built on the same immersive platform.
The learner's headset view can be followed live, exactly as an instructor would see it remotely.
Why It Matters
Expertise, wherever it is needed.
No geography
Specialist instructors can teach learners at any site — a distributed campus, a rural placement, another continent.
Shared perspective
The instructor sees the learner's exact view and the live ultrasound image — no ambiguity about what is on screen.
Guidance in the moment
Corrections to probe position and technique happen live, while the learner's hands are still on the probe.
Efficient faculty time
One instructor supports learners across sites without travel, making expert supervision go further.
Familiar tools
Learners use the standard Deepscope VR simulator; the instructor needs nothing more than a normal computer.
Consistent standards
The same standardised anatomy and pathology library underpins every remote session.
