Overview:
Quipu, founded in 2011 as a spin-off of the Italian National Research Council and the University of Pisa, is specialised in medical imaging and innovative ultrasound technologies. In particular, Quipu design a new generation of diagnostic ultrasound systems based on software applications, that can change the world of medical ultrasound systems overcoming the limitations that make ultrasound still underutilized. Quipu team includes engineers and doctors who share 20 years work experience in the field of medical ultrasound.
Quipu developed a software platform, Cardiovascular Suite, containing innovative software programs performing specific ultrasonic examinations (FMD Studio and Carotid Studio) for assessing early markers of cardiovascular risk. The platform runs on a standard personal computer based on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux. Today, the platform works in connection with any existing ultrasound scanner and adds advanced functions to standard ultrasound devices. A new-generation ultrasound scanner is under development to complete a new medical ultrasound architecture based on software applications.
