In traditional hospital practice, ultrasound services are centralized in ultrasound departments. However, many specialties—including anesthesiology, pain management, general surgery, urology, obstetrics and gynecology, respiratory medicine, hematology, oncology, and emergency medicine—require ultrasound support for emergency check and routine diagnostic.

Increased demand burdens ultrasound specialists and often leads to extended wait times due to insufficient equipment. Additionally, the high cost of large-scale ultrasound machines can cause budget overruns if equip each department adequately. These unmet needs highlight the opportunity for handheld ultrasound devices, offering cost-effective, portable imaging solutions that enhance accessibility and improve patient care across various clinical settings.
