Ultrasound was first used in medicine in 1956 in Glasgow. Since then this technology has been utilized extensively within the hospital and clinic setting. It is a safe and effective diagnostic tool and results are available quickly.  This is also a painless and non-invasive procedure.  Ultrasound works by utilizing sound waves that strikes an object and bounces, or echoes, back revealing an image. As healthcare providers we are used to seeing ultrasound used in labor and delivery, but this technology is utilized throughout the hospital, from emergency room to surgery and even assists in placing central lines and peripheral catheters in patients with difficult access.  However, conventional ultrasound machines are bulky, heavy, and difficult to transport around the hospital.

Healcerion is a Korean company that was founded in 2012 by Dr. Benjamin Jeongwon Ryu, MD and his company has invented a wireless ultrasound probe that connects to a smart phone to display the image.  This makes ultrasound use in an emergency, at the bedside, or for a simple procedure such as a peripheral IV much easier and far less time consuming.  This new technology was FDA approved in 2018 and released to US markets on July 9, 2018.  The probe works with an app that is downloaded to the smartphone or tablet and it works with apple or android products.

Since this technology is so new and just being released to hospitals there are not many cons known at this time. One would be the relying on wi-fi for connectivity. If needed in an emergency and the electricity is out there would be no way to upload the information. Also, with a battery life of 3 hours when scanning it would be pertinent that the device be plugged in and charged after every use.

As someone who has worked extensively with ultrasound when placing peripherally inserted central catheters I think this device is brilliant.  Often times I would be called to the OR in an emergency for PICC placement and having to roll a large, heavy ultrasound machine could really slow down progress.  The thought that I would be able to carry the probe in my pocket is very convenient.  It also opens up the use of ultrasound to many different specialties and in clinics.  Ultrasound in itself is a great diagnostic tool and with this small device it makes the diagnosing process so much faster and easier.

This product is Wireless and functions using battery power and Wi-Fi. The battery is rechargeable and holds a charge for 3 hours of scanning and 12 hours when the device is on standby mode. The wand is lightweight, weighing only 13 oz and the probe can fit in the palm of the practitioners hand. This device connects to any smart phone or tablet and this allows the user to upload and share picture between providers and to the patient chart.
