Unmet Medical Need: Critically ill patients are often subject to continuous physiologic monitoring and repeated imaging tests to manage their care. Wearable ultrasound devices provide non-invasive, continuous physiologic monitoring as well as medical diagnostics.

Envisioned Healthcare Product:  SONO-PATCH is a wearable 2D array in the form of a conformational patch probe that can be placed externally on the body’s surface to allow for continuous sonographic visualization and hands-free operation.
