Ultrasound (POCUS) in Geriatric Care

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the SIG on Gerontechnology and Digital Health and the EAMA Collaboration on Muscle Ultrasound in Sarcopenia, we invite you to participate in two complementary surveys on the use of ultrasound in geriatric medicine.

 

  1. Survey on Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) in Geriatric Care
    This survey aims to explore current practices, experiences, potential, and barriers related to point-of-care ultrasound use in geriatric care across Europe.
    All clinicians working in geriatric care – regardless of POCUS experience – are encouraged to participate.
    Estimated time: 5–10 minutes.

  1. Survey on Muscle Ultrasound for Sarcopenia Diagnosis
    This survey targets clinicians and researchers with experience in detecting sarcopenia, aiming to gain insight into current practices and support the development of a standardised protocol for diagnosing sarcopenia.

Estimated time: 5–10 minutes.

Your participation in either or both surveys is greatly appreciated and will contribute meaningfully to advancing geriatric ultrasound practice.

Thank you for your time and support.

Kind regards,
