Quipu is a company founded in January 2011 as a spin-off of the Italian National Research Council and the University of Pisa, Italy. The team includes three engineers, who share 15 years work experience in the field of medical ultrasound, one economics graduate with 10 years experience in sales management, business development and customer relationship management, and two medical doctor with strong research experience in cardiovascular disease. Quipu can exploit its strong link with biomedical researchers and innovators for a continuous and rapid update of their products.

Quipu designs a new generation of biomedical ultrasound systems based on software applications. We believe that applications will be at the heart of the upcoming ultrasound systems, giving these devices a big boost in terms of usability and new usage scenarios.

In our vision, the next generation of ultrasound devices consist of a smart scanner, a standard PC/tablet and our application-based software. This innovative architecture offers great advantages because it makes ultrasound easier and speeds up the innovation process.

Our customers are healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics, primary care centers, professionals and, more generally, all users of medical ultrasound systems.
