First BodyWorks Eve installed at NYU School of Medicine
MedaPhor, the intelligent ultrasound software and simulation company, announces that it has installed its first BodyWorks Eve, Point of Care ultrasound (PoCUS) simulator, at NYU School of Medicine, in the simulation laboratory of the affiliated Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System NY Campus, New York, USA.
BodyWorks Eve is an ultra-realistic female manikin-based simulator designed specifically for doctors
looking to train in Point of Care Ultrasound (PoCUS)and will aid the teaching of PoCUS to medical students, residents and faculty.
Complete with over 100 real patient scans and over 10,000 pathology variations across cardiac, lung, transabdominal and pelvic ultrasound, it is the most dynamic simulator available for ultrasound scenario training with structured educational content, based on the International Federation of Emergency Medicine (IFEM) PoCUS curriculum guidelines.
Dr. Brian Kaufman, Professor of Medicine, Anesthesiology, Neurology and Neurosurgery and Director of the simulation laboratory at the VA, commented:
"It's our role as a University to ensure that our medical students, residents and faculty are armed with the knowledge and practical skills needed to be the best physicians they can be as they embark on or continue their medical careers.
'Ultrasound is growing exponentially, and we are confident that integrating BodyWorks Eve into our PoCUS curriculum will enable us to deliver the best possible educational outcomes for our learners."
Ian Whittaker, Chief Operating Officer, at MedaPhor, said:
"BodyWorks Eve has gained great market acceptance and customer feedback since its recent launch. NYU is the first in a long line of customers who are looking to deploy BodyWorks Eve to advance their PoCUS training capabilities and reap the educational benefits of a truly one-of-a-kind ultrasound simulator."

About MedaPhor (www.investors.medaphor.com)
MedaPhor (AIM: MED), the intelligent ultrasound software and simulation company, develops artificial intelligence-based clinical image analysis software tools, augmented reality-based needle guidance software and advanced hi-fidelity haptic and manikin-based training simulators for medical practitioners.
Based in Cardiff and Oxford in the UK, Atlanta in the US and Hong Kong in Asia, MedaPhor operates two divisions:
Intelligent Ultrasound Simulation Division
Focuses on hi-fidelity ultrasound education and training through simulation. Its three main products are the ScanTrainer OBGYN and General Medical simulator training platform, the HeartWorks echocardiography simulator platform and the BodyWorks Eve Point of Care and Emergency Medicine Simulator. Over 500 MedaPhor simulators have been sold to over 300 medical institutions in over 30 countries around the world.
Intelligent Ultrasound Clinical Division
Focuses on augmented reality and deep-learning based algorithms to make ultrasound machines smarter and more accessible. Products in development include ScanNav and NeedleGuide. ScanNav uses machine-learning based algorithms to automatically identify, grade and capture good ultrasound images. NeedleGuide aims to simplify ultrasound-guided needling by using deep learning and augmented reality to provide the user with pathway guidance and automated tracking for a range of medical procedures.
