Pulsenmore has secured a multimillion-dollar contract to supply its home ultrasound device for self-examination of follicles in IVF (in vitro fertilization) and fertility preservation processes to Clalit Health Services. Under the terms of the agreement, Clalit Health Services is expected to purchase thousands of units with a minimum annual order over the course of four years, at a total of approximately $11 million. This is the second agreement Pulsenmore has secured with Clalit, following an earlier contract to provide the organization with its flagship home device for fetal ultrasound, Pulsenmore ES, including an initial order of $6 million.

The device was immediately rolled out to Clalit patients and to date, almost 15,000 Pulsenmore home ultrasound scans have been performed by pregnant women and reviewed by Clalit's healthcare professionals. The standard IVF procedure requires numerous ultrasound scans – sometimes daily – for the assessment of follicle size and endometrial thickness, which are critical parameters in determining optimal timing for retrieving eggs for fertilization. The new follicular tracking ultrasound device, Pulsenmore FC, will enable Clalit's fertility patients to perform ultrasound scans at home, which are then viewed and assessed remotely by healthcare professional.

The solution is well aligned with consumers and healthcare providers seeking and adopting more virtual and hybrid care models. The shift to home scanning with the Pulsenmore FC device will significantly reduce the number of clinic and hospital visits for these scans, and will enable patients to perform them in the comfort and privacy of home and at their own convenience.
