Butterfly Network, Inc. issued a statement on the impact of its comprehensive point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) solution, Butterfly iQ+, in advancing medical education curriculum nationally. The update follows news from Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) earlier this week announcing its investment in Butterfly iQ+ technology and enhanced training for its medical students, as well as faculty, residents and fellows across family medicine, internal medicine, emergency medicine, anesthesia, OB-GYN, surgery and critical care. Butterfly?s POCUS technology can be found onsite at the majority of U.S. medical schools, with an increasing number of programs adopting a hands-on, one-probe-per-student training model.

Butterfly?s device sales into U.S. medical schools more than doubled in volume in the first half of 2023 over 2022, as schools continue to realize the value of POCUS. IUSM now leads the charge of academic institutions driving a fundamental shift in medical education. The school?s exemplary deployment expands on the one-probe-per-student training model by also leveraging Butterfly?s medical education solution to prepare residents, fellows, and faculty with devices and POCUS skills to ensure lasting adoption that carries through to evolved standards of patient care in their health system.
