👋Meet AIMEE - the AI Mentor for Endometriosis Ultrasound Education.

AIMEE’s ambition is to help close the shortage of sonographers with the specialised skillset required to perform complex scans for endometriois. The e-learning app for sonographers, enhanced by real-time AI feedback, provides immediate guidance to help users refine technique, improve accuracy, and build diagnostic confidence when scanning for endometriosis.

Ultrsound for complex gynaecological conditions - such as endometriosis - was added to the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) in Australia earlier this month in a bid to increase accessibilty and more timely diagnosis.

Based on our commitment to accelerate research translation and improve clinical practice, Robinson Research Institute provided funding in 2024 and 2025 to support the development of AIMEE. More 👉 https://buff.ly/QfjLnVj

The global shift toward non-invasive imaging for endometriosis is finally catching up… 🌍✨

Our latest research is this new international survey!

The main purpose of the study was to understand:
The preferred method for diagnosing endometriosis;
The use of imaging for diagnostic purposes; and
The healthcare professional involvement in endometriosis diagnosis based on the resources that each country has available.


And what did they tell us? Clinicians around the world are increasingly using ultrasound before surgery — describing it as “game-changing” for mapping disease, planning surgery, and improving patient-centred care.

Plenty still to do (especially around training access and consistency), but wow… the global landscape is shifting fast. 💛

Its important to keep in mind that:
1️⃣ The sample mostly reflects FIGO networks, so responses lean toward gynaecologists.
2️⃣ It captures interest and experience, not necessarily population-level practice.
3️⃣ Resourcing and access varies hugely by country, so findings aren’t equally generalisable.

Still — the momentum is real. And it’s only growing.

✨ Huge congratulations to our Principal Investigator Professor Louise Hull! ✨

Prof Hull was recently awarded the Women in Innovation Award for Technology — a well-deserved recognition of her relentless drive to transform care for people with pelvic pain and endometriosis using cutting edge machine learning techniques.

At Imagendo, we see firsthand how her vision lifts an entire field. Louise doesn’t just push boundaries… she redraws them. 💛🧠

Here’s to bold ideas, brilliant women, and innovations that actually change lives.

Our PI is in Cape Town, South Africa this week sharing the work of the IMAGENDO team with delegates of the World Congress

30/09/2025

Our very own today spoke to about the launch of EndoThrive- a new initiative from offer accreditation to workplaces to support employees with endometriosis.

Rachel is part of our research team and is completing a PhD investigating the impact of early diagnosis on young people with endometriosis. In addition to her research experience, Rachel lives with endo and has experienced first hand how much support can be required in the workplace!
