A POCUS training program for primary healthcare providers in rural Kenya was developed in 2013. A significant challenge to this program is the acquisition of reasonably priced ultrasound machines with adequate image quality and the ability to transmit images for remote review. The goal of this study is to compare the utility of a smartphone-connected, hand-held ultrasound with a traditional ultrasound device for image acquisition and interpretation by trained healthcare providers in Kenya. 2023-03-16T07:55:31Z 2023-03-16T07:55:31Z 2023 Book https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13089-023-00308-7 https://dlib.phenikaa-uni.edu.vn/handle/PNK/6943 en application/pdf Springer
