A new wearable ultrasound device developed by engineers and physicians out of the University of California San Diego (UCSD) is the size of postage stamp, but it could end up making a massive impact on patient care.
“The increasing risk of heart diseases calls for more advanced and inclusive monitoring procedures,” corresponding author Sheng Xu, a professor of nanoengineering at UCSD, said in a prepared statement. “By providing patients and doctors with more thorough details, continuous and real-time cardiac image monitoring is poised to fundamentally optimize and reshape the paradigm of cardiac diagnoses.”
The device, designed to be worn for up to 24 hours at a time, generates real-time ultrasound images of the heart and uses artificial intelligence (AI) to...
