The Butterfly IQ+ point-of-care ultrasound has been a game changer in the field for assessments and diagnoses. IMR volunteers have used the portable device to show expectant mothers their precious babies and search for suspected gallstones and kidney stones to relieve patients in pain. Providers have also used the ultrasound as an educational tool to give student volunteer experiences with live medical cases they wouldn’t get in the classroom.

Providers often bring their own personal devices to enhance their mission trip work. But thanks to a generous grant from our phenomenal partner, the Making a Difference Foundation, there are three in the IMR technology library for field use as well to provide world class patient care no matter where the location.
