Powered by Infinite-Imaging technology and advanced robotic control, remote ultrasound exams are now possible without a clinician on site.
Melody is the world's first remote robotic ultrasound solution.
Designed and industrialised by AdEchoTech, it allows doctors to perform high-precision examinations by remotely controlling a robotic ultrasound probe in real time, while maintaining full control over the medical procedure and ultrasound settings.
This patented French technology is designed to overcome the problem of distance in medical imaging, without ever replacing the medical staff or compromising the quality of healthcare.
- Total medical control: every movement is faithfully reproduced through the probe
- The interface is intuitive and easy to learn how to use
- Compatible with all ultrasound equipment and video conferencing systems
- Simple on-site operator training in 1 hour

Technology in the service of medical procedures
The result of 15 years of research, MELODY was developed in partnership with CNES (the National Centre for Space Studies), the European Space Agency, and several university hospitals. It is the world's first robotic tele-ultrasound solution, combining robotics, medical imaging, and real-time connectivity. This solution does not replace the doctor, it allows them to work further afield, makes them more accessible, and gives them the means to do their job, everywhere.
Its medical uses
- General imaging: Monitoring for the thyroid, gall bladder, liver, kidneys, spleen, etc.
- Cardiology: Heart failure, heart attack monitoring, etc.
- Obstetrics: Pregnancy monitoring, screening for birth defects, etc.
- Paediatrics: Appendicitis, intussusception, urinary infections, etc.
- Vascular / Doppler: thrombosis, aneurysm, arterial and venous flow monitoring, etc.
- Urology: Search for obstruction, hematuria assessment, etc.
Melody is the world's first remote robotic ultrasound solution.
- The specialist views the screen of the ultrasound located at the patient site and may modify its parameters in real time (change of the gain, taking measurements, colour Doppler, etc.)
- Video conferencing allows the doctor and patient to interact as if they were in the exam room
- The specialist’s actions are reproduced at the remote site, identically and in real time, using a “twin” probe
MELODY was designed to operate in even the most isolated areas, with a simple connection from 2 Mbit/s. Compatible with ADSL, Fibre, 3G+, 4G, 5G, radio or satellite, it ensures the seamless, secure transmission of images, instructions and video conferencing, for a complete real-time medical experience, with no compromise in quality.
