CAE Healthcare sells its innovative echocardiography simulator to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

>>Montreal, May 6, 2010 –

CAE Healthcare has sold its first transthoracic echocardiography simulator, CAE VIMEDIX™ to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The simulator is designed to train healthcare professionals to perform anatomical and physiological assessments of the heart using ultrasound. The simulator is a major breakthrough for medical training as it helps make echocardiography more accessible to healthcare practitioners who are not medical imaging specialists.

CAE Healthcare also acquired VIMEDIX™:


>>The simulator was developed by VIMEDIX, one of the two companies CAE acquired earlier this year in order to expand its growing portfolio in ultrasound imaging education and training.

VIDIMEX seems to incorporate some sort of force-feedback:

>>Vimedix out of Montreal, Canada has released a new echocardiography simulator that features, among other things, force-feedback technology that allows the trainee to feel what working with a real patient is like.
