Still In Development

Please note that this is a design for a student project. It has not been taken into R&D by anyone of which we are aware.
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.
