Dr. Harvey Feigenbaum is widely recognized as the "Father of Echocardiography" for pioneering the most widely used cardiac imaging technique in the world.

Case ContentThe case simulator puts the participant in a simulated echocardiographic reading station. Users will be presented with a series of cases for interpretation and/or measurement. The available images are to be reviewed and then a report generated from a diagnostic tree with numerous possible comments, just as is done in the real world of echocardiography. This is not a multiple choice quiz where the answer is present and you need to guess which one it is. The learning premise: you will remember that which you got wrong longer than that which you got right. Users will have ample opportunity to learn from your mistakes. Case improvements have been made to accommodate a wider audience, such as sonographers in training, cardiology fellows and non-cardiologists who conduct point-of-care echocardiography. For example, Dr. Feigenbaum has developed a new module entitled "Introduction to Echocardiography" which is designed for everyone to learn the fundamentals of the science, from an academic overview of basic principles to interpret echocardiograms to a simulated echocardiographic reading station that presents a series of cases for interpretation and/or measurement. These improvements are now generally available to everyone.

“Over the past three years, the Ke Labs’ has become an indispensable component to our echocardiographic missions of teaching, patient care and research.”
Distinguished Professor of Medicine | Indiana University | School of Medicine
“Throughout med school, I had been exposed to echo in a variety of settings, but using this was definitely the most educational of all of them.”
“Overall, this is an invaluable tool to all level learners including medical students, residents and cardiology fellows who desire a hands-on approach to learning echocardiography.”
“[KeLabs' product] further supported the idea of learning by mistakes. The scenario-based learning also helped to be able to easily take the learning experience to real patient applications.”
“I would highly recommend [the product] to those in need of an opportunity to enhance the quality and efficiency of the work they do.”
Manager for Non-Invasive Cardiology, IU Health Methodist and University Hospitals
