Saving Lives by Removing Barriers
to Essential Ultrasound Scanning
We introduce Ultrablanket, a wearable medical device to make routine fetal ultrasound scans operator-independent.
Why Choose
Ultrablanket?
Powered by advanced AI and robotics, Ultrablanket operates autonomously—no manual intervention required.
Automated operation speeds up workflows, letting healthcare professionals focus on patient care rather than device handling.
Extends access to high-quality diagnostic care—from urban hospitals to remote and underserved communities—via local and telehealth-enabled deployments.
How
Ultrablanket
Works
We utilise silicon-based microelectromechanical systems to redesign conventional transducers into a wearable design that resembles a blanket.
We integrate a series of robotic mechanisms to mimic a sonographer’s manoeuvres during scanning.
We developed AI algorithms to identify informative scans aligned with standard guidelines.
Our Motivation
We’re driven by the vision of reducing global health inequalities in ultrasound access by making expert-level medical imaging available anytime, anywhere.
