Frequently asked questions

No special scanning hardware or separate acquisition process is required. Learners continue scanning with the devices they already use and submit their acquisitions through ScanHub. The major difference is what happens afterward: feedback can arrive in minutes instead of waiting for a scheduled review.

A general AI model is not purpose-built around POCUS education or a defined scan-review framework. Instant Review™ applies structured, society-aligned criteria to supported examinations so feedback is consistent, repeatable, and designed specifically to teach ultrasound acquisition rather than generate an open-ended interpretation.

Yes. A consistent review framework does not mean faculty lose their teaching philosophy or authority. Instant Review™ establishes a common baseline for routine coaching, while educators remain responsible for how that feedback fits into their curriculum, assessment process, and broader expectations for learners.

Not every acquisition should receive a forced automated conclusion. When additional judgment is required, the appropriate next step is human review. That boundary is intentional: Instant Review™ is designed to automate routine coaching while leaving uncertain, complex, or higher-stakes decisions with qualified people.

Yes. Because supported scans are evaluated using consistent categories, repeated reviews can build a longitudinal picture rather than a collection of disconnected scores. Learners can see recurring strengths and weaknesses, while programs can identify broader trends across individuals and cohorts.

It is designed for clinicians learning or refining POCUS skills, educators managing scan review, programs trying to standardize training, and institutions building stronger quality-assurance processes around POCUS. The value looks different for each audience, but the underlying goal is the same: faster, more consistent feedback and a clearer record of improvement.

Instant Review™ is currently in pre-launch. Programs, faculty, and institutional teams can request a consult to discuss early adoption or a pilot, while individual clinicians and learners can join the waitlist for early-access updates.

Instant Review is in pre-launch, and early participants get priority access, onboarding support, and input into the roadmap. The fastest path is a consult for programs or the waitlist for individuals; both reach the GUSI team directly.

Yes. Individual clinicians and learners are part of the intended audience. If you are interested in using Instant Review™ independently rather than through an institution or training program, the waitlist is the best place to start.

GUSI supports learners in more than 120 countries, and Instant Review is built to extend that reach. Because feedback is automated and always on, it is especially valuable where expert reviewers are scarce — exactly the resource-limited settings where timely POCUS guidance is hardest to come by and most impactful.

Structured, reviewed scan records and longitudinal performance data can support the broader documentation used in POCUS credentialing, privileging, competency, and quality-assurance processes. Instant Review™ does not itself grant credentials or privileges, and each institution remains responsible for its own requirements and decisions.

No. Learners upload through ScanHub™ as they already do; the only change is that structured feedback comes back in minutes. There is no new device, no migration, and no added workflow for the learner.

No. Programs can start with a defined cohort, fellowship, rotation, or other limited group and evaluate the workflow before expanding. A smaller pilot makes it possible to measure feedback speed, faculty review burden, learner engagement, and other outcomes before deciding how broadly to deploy Instant Review™.
