A Revolution for Ultrasound Imaging
Bring High-Definition Medical Imaging Closer to Patients' Needs Discover ResolveTECHNOLOGY, VISION & Applications
Our Technology
The development of our technology could widen applications for macro and microvascular imaging by improving contrast, resolution, and penetration depth of ultrasound. Microbubbles, a contrast agent already clinically used to improve conventional ultrasound imaging, are injected into the blood flow and localized thanks to the ultrasound technology to reconstruct the macro and microvessels.
Building on the results in Olivier Couture’s Laboratory, Resolve is developing an imaging bedside platform, including for neuro applications, to image micro and macro-vessels in 3 dimensions within minutes, allowing its use by many healthcare professionals. Our core technology has already demonstrated its viability in 2D in humans with very high definition images of micro-vessels through the human skull and in 3D in vitro.
Our Vision
In an industry that critically needs innovation, we are constantly impressed by the potential of the Ultrasound Localization Microscopy technology to solve medical challenges. Building a technology that can unlock so many possibilities is the adventure of a lifetime. We know the road ahead will be full of ups and downs. But that makes us even more determined to succeed and make life-changing / saving discoveries possible.

Our Approach and applications
We now have access to incredibly rich data that has the potential to diagnose stroke and make-life saving discoveries possible. We focus our development toward bedside monitoring. In pre-hospital environment, the studies show the relevance of such imaging for the early diagnosis of stroke in humans, without the constraints and availability of MRI and CT. We hope to have an impact on millions of people, as stroke is considered the second leading cause of death worldwide. Such an imaging device leading to a significant reduction in death and disability thanks to pre-hospital/hospital management of stroke opens a large market.

Resolve Stroke’s imaging technology could have an impact far beyond stroke management. Blood flow in the Brain is Indicative of Overall Health. Access to blood flow data can prevent disability or death. With more than 200 clinical studies published annually, indications for the use of cerebral ultrasound are expanding !

« Building a technology that can unlock so many possibilities is the adventure of a lifetime. Beyond the early diagnosis of stroke and brain injuries, our technology could solve many medical challenges from early diagnosis of diabetes, to liver monitoring. Many clinical discoveries are expected with the launch of our clinical-ready device. »

About Us
Resolve is clinical-stage medtech, a spin-off from the biomedical imaging Laboratory of the Sorbonne University in Paris. In 2022, Vincent Hingot, Aritz Zamacola and Olivier Couture officially launched the company to supercharge the development of the lab’s promising super ultrasound localisation technology.
Our core technology is the result of over ten years of research around the ultrasound localisation microscopy (ULM). Led by Research Director Olivier Couture’s team, this work revealed new opportunities for medical imaging. A successful demonstration of stroke imaging with small animals confirmed the technology’s perspective for stroke management.
Driven by a powerful ambition to develop a new generation of vascular imaging device to solve unsolved medical issues, we are pioneers in the translation of ULM to humans through the integration of high level hardware and software know-how and technologies. And we are partnering with leading research groups to accomplish this goal.
