Easy-use Fetal Ultrasound Belt

Still In Development Last Update: January 11, 2013

A fetal ultrasound belt with built-in sensors would reduce the training required for technicians. Current machines depend on a skilled technician to guide a probe over the abdomen. The multiple imaging sensors woven into the blanket mean it would simply have to be correctly placed, a big advantage in countries where technicians are in short supply. This project was a collaboration between GE Healthcare and Art Center for Design's Pasadena campus.
