About · Company profile
Three decades of ultrasound engineering
TELEMED was founded in 1992 on a simple idea: ultrasound beamforming combined with the power of a personal computer could change how ultrasound is built and used. More than thirty years later, that idea runs through every TELEMED scanner, beamformer and research system.
Our mission
To develop accessible, flexible and innovative ultrasound technologies for healthcare, research and industrial partners worldwide.
From the start, we used the processing power of computer processors and graphics cards instead of traditional microcontrollers. We followed every generation of USB — from USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 to today’s USB 3 and USB-C — so that a laptop, a tablet or even a phone can become a complete ultrasound system.
Our story
- 1992
TELEMED is founded
Three young engineers in Vilnius start TELEMED with one conviction: real-time ultrasound beamforming combined with the power of a personal computer can change how ultrasound is built. One of their first systems — a fully analogue scanner without a microcontroller, sending ultrasound signals straight to a CRT display — becomes the first device approved for medical diagnostics in independent Lithuania.
- 1993
Ultrasound on a desktop PC
TELEMED presents its first scanner that uses a desktop computer to process ultrasound signals: a separate analogue beamformer connected to the computer through an ISA card.
- 2000
The first OEM partner
TELEMED signs its first international OEM supply agreement and begins supplying ultrasound beamformers to other medical device manufacturers.
- 2005
Colour Doppler goes portable
LS64, our first colour Doppler system, is praised for its portability, battery power and outstanding quality-to-price ratio.
- 2011–2012
Approvals in North America
Echo Blaster and LS64/LS128 systems receive FDA 510(k) clearance; LS64 and LS128 devices also receive Health Canada licences.
- 2014
MicrUs
The USB-powered, pocket-size MicrUs scanner brings TELEMED imaging to point-of-care work.
- 2017
