Scottish startup company Novosound has expanded its healthcare and wireless wearable ultrasound operations in the US.
In collaboration with the Baylor College of Medicine located within the Texas Medical Center in Houston, Novosound recently released wearable ultrasound sensors. The company’s printable sensor sends pulses of sound (acoustic energy) to listen of echoes to form images for inspection and monitoring.
According to Novosound, these sensors are manufactured from piezoceramic, piezocomposite, or single crystal materials, using Film Deposition Technologies to create highly flexible sensors. Printed ultrasound sensors work in high temperatures and extreme environments.
CEO Dave Hughes told the press, “we’re making remarkable progress in the US, venturing into varied sectors such as healthcare, wearables with several clients in the West Coast tech scene, renewables and energy, including an introductory visit to Axiom Space, which closely follows their partnership announcement with the UK Space Agency. We’re seeing that our R&D partnerships are frequently translating to commercial agreements, and we expect to announce a number of these in 2024.”
VP of surgery at Baylor College Todd K. Rosengart said, “I have been very impressed with the Novosound technology and how we are applying it to a global clinical need, which we believe will save lives and could indeed become the next vital sign monitor.”
“Novosound is growing rapidly across our three main sectors – medical, wearables, and industrial monitoring, in North America,” Hughes added. “On the financials, this equates to is doubling revenue for the fourth year in a row, while adding expertise to the team. Overall, we’re demonstrating that we’re at the forefront of ultrasound sensor technology, and our clients are helping us achieve our vision, which we describe as ‘Ultrasound. Integrated. Everywhere.’”
The company will feature its technology at CES 2024.
