Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

I’ve looked into getting a continuous monitor a few times because the data could be useful for training optimization, like HIIT and functional lifts, but everything currently available tends to be expensive or clunky. Smaller or more affordable wearables would be quite welcome.

I have been waiting for this!! The study was interesting in that you could use this to get multiple points from around the whole body and get more diagnostic data this way. Imagine seeing that there is too much blood pressure built up in a specific part of the body which is indicative of some kind of disease or encroachment if a tumor or something.

I'm excited to see this as a new standalone wearable in 2030 that probably, as could be billed to the insurance company, will be around $2743 and has a subscription of $85 a month that cannot be part of your deductible.
