When we founded Novosound, the idea was simple yet profound: to push the boundaries of ultrasound technology and make it ubiquitous. Today, that idea forms the core of our vision: ultrasound integrated everywhere.
For me, this vision represents a future where ultrasound isn’t confined to hospitals or industrial settings but becomes an essential part of everyday life. Imagine sensors safeguarding vital infrastructure, revolutionising healthcare, and powering the technologies of tomorrow. This is the future we are building at Novosound.
Our technology is already shaping industries far and wide. It’s on oil pipelines, ensuring critical infrastructure remains operational and environmentally safe. It’s protecting emerging clean energy systems, including hydrogen storage, where safety and efficiency are paramount. In healthcare, we are pioneering innovations that move ultrasound from the hospital to the home. Think disposable probes that make advanced diagnostics more accessible, or wearable devices capable of monitoring patients in real time.
These aren’t futuristic concepts—they’re projects we’re delivering today. And then there’s the world of advanced technologies: gesture recognition for spatial computing, and sensors enabling precision monitoring in some of the most demanding environments, including high-performance vehicles and cutting-edge consumer devices. These are the proving grounds for the next generation of applications.
Among our most ambitious projects is bringing ultrasound technology to wearable health devices, with a focus on revolutionising blood pressure monitoring. Current methods rely on clunky cuffs or offer only approximate results. Our aim is to replace this with a seamless, cuffless solution — an ultrasound sensor that’s as accurate as a hospital monitor but small and affordable enough to sit comfortably on your wrist.
The vision? To get this technology onto 100,000,000 wrists worldwide. That’s not just a number; it’s a commitment to making advanced health monitoring universally accessible, helping people manage their health proactively and reduce the burden on healthcare systems.
With partners already exploring integration into wearables, this goal is well within reach. Why does this Matter? Ultrasound’s potential is extraordinary because it tackles challenges across multiple domains, including the environment. Aging infrastructure is one of the greatest threats to our planet, often leading to catastrophic failures and widespread pollution. Our technology provides the tools to prevent this—by monitoring and protecting the vital systems that power our world, from oil pipelines to renewable energy assets.
And in healthcare settings, too. We are all only temporarily fit and healthy. Our sensors help people stay out of hospital by enabling better monitoring, and when hospitalisation is needed, they help clinicians get patients back on their feet faster. In an age where healthcare is a universal concern, innovations like these are critical.
The future of tech will also be sensor-driven. From wearable devices to advanced automotive systems, our technology is helping to lay the foundations for the next generation of consumer and industrial applications. The same way Teflon emerged from the space race to become part of our daily lives, so too will these innovations find new, exciting uses over time.
Achieving this ambitious vision is not without its challenges. But we didn’t set out to do the easy things. Every success we’ve had has come from embracing complexity and choosing the path with purpose. This is what drives us—and what drives the brilliant team at Novosound. Together, we are building a world where ultrasound truly is integrated everywhere—helping industries, individuals, and societies thrive.
