Bring High-Definition Medical Imaging Closer to Patients' Needs and unlock the power of blood flow data
Discover Resolve

TECHNOLOGY, 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 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 technologies.

Our core technologies are 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 technologies 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.

Our executive co-founders, Vincent Hingot and Aritz Zamacola bring a unique combination of scientific excellence and business skills to the company. Our team is made up of the most accomplished experts in ULM technology. Our scientific advisor, Olivier Couture, is a renowned scientist and pioneer in super ultrasound localisation.

We are leading next medical imaging ultrasound breakthrough, and we are just getting started.
