Vivid i addresses one of the biggest challenges in cardiovascular care access to complete, real-time diagnostic information. The new system expands the reach of echocardiography by offering all the functionality and high performance of full-featured premium scale systems but in a completely portable and wireless design that weighs 30 times less.

GE developed Vivid i by miniaturizing the components of a premium echocardiography system weighing more than 180 kilograms to provide a portable system weighing less than five kilograms. Vivid i features wireless functionality, enabling physicians to transfer files instantly from the system to other physicians for consultation, or to the patients bedside so that they can be more informed and involved in their healthcare decisions.
