SONOSCOPE Inc. is a Canadian medical technology company established in 2010 by co-founder Jean-Francois Lanctot. Initially gaining international recognition for its expertise in medical training, the company has since pivoted to developing next-generation ultrasound-based resuscitation technology. This strategic shift focuses on creating monitoring devices that facilitate point-of-care ultrasound in resuscitation and acute care medicine.
The company's core business involves the development of transformational medical devices designed for critical care settings. The technology aims to empower clinicians to perform rapid diagnoses and administer immediate treatment, which can subsequently help in reducing in-patient costs. SONOSCOPE operates in the medical device market, specifically targeting clinicians in acute and critical care environments. Its business model centers on the creation and sale of these specialized ultrasound devices.
In December 2021, SONOSCOPE secured $4 million in a Series A funding round. This investment was led by Invest Quebec, with participation from Desjardins Capital and the Centech Accelerator, highlighting significant backing from key institutional investors. The company is privately held and based in Longueuil, Canada.
The founding team includes Maxime Valois, who is noted as one of the founders in materials from the Centech accelerator program which SONOSCOPE participated in during the summer of 2020. The board of directors includes Maxime Valois, Stéphane Tétreault, Germain Benoit, and Jean-françois Lanctôt. This composition suggests a leadership team with a blend of expertise to guide the company's growth in the medical technology sector.
