ECHO On is a free medical education resource for learning Transesophageal Echocardiography including a free, enlarging question bank, a Rescue TEE cognitive aid, a Case Log system for submission to the NBE, and a growing perioperative Quick Reference library with offline echo loops that work even in the OR without internet access, and includes pathology examples, techniques, and normal loops of the heart. ECHO On will walk you through an entire standard 28 view exam teaching you the anatomy, function and Doppler interrogations you should perform at each view, and how to interpret them. ECHO On is and will remain free, and the best way you can contribute is to submit boards-style questions or echo stills and echo loops to help grow the QBank, Quick Reference and Pathology libraries. Disclaimer: This app was written to provide an accessible perioperative tool for residents and fellows learning TEE in the cardiac OR and ICU, and for generalist anesthesiologists looking to refresh their knowledge of TEE. It is not meant for patients to self-diagnose. It is not meant to be a definitive reference. Despite my best efforts, there may be errors or inaccuracies in this app, so please do not use it for medical decision making, as doing so may lead you misdiagnose or seriously harm your patient. If you are not a qualified medical doctor, please see a qualified medical doctor before making any medical decisions, including those based on echocardiograms.

About

Sonolex

Features
Read full description

Sonolex is the structured echo case logbook built for cardiology training programs. Echo cardiology requires logging hundreds of cases during training. Sonolex replaces handwritten logs and spreadsheets with a fast, clinically organized workflow. LOG CASES IN SECONDS Enter echo findings using natural shorthand — the same notation you already use. Type "ef 55 mild mr tr mild rvsp 40 ivc flat" and Sonolex instantly parses it into a structured report: LVEF, valve findings, PASP, and IVC collapsibility — organized by system. BUILT-IN CLINICAL CHECKS Sonolex applies ASE-guideline logic to grade diastolic dysfunction and generate heuristic impressions. Labels are always marked as heuristic — never overstated as AI. SUPERVISOR REVIEW WORKFLOW Send any case for digital co-sign. Your supervisor reviews findings on the web or iOS and signs off — building an auditable record for your training portfolio. NBE-READY EXPORT Export your complete case log as a CSV compatible with NBE requirements. One tap, no reformatting. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE-FIRST Cases are stored on your device. Nothing leaves your phone without your explicit action. Requires iOS 17 or later.
