The mobile ultrasound revolution

On this episode of GeekWire Health Tech, we look at how portable ultrasound devices are changing the medical landscape – building on the technology’s roots in the Seattle region. Ultrasound is going far beyond obstetrics  to allowing physicians to diagnose medical conditions more efficiently -- in the field and the clinic. And increasingly, it’s being used not just for imaging and diagnosis but for actual treatment of disease. Our guests are Mike Bailey, an engineer who focuses on ultrasound research and development at the University of Washington, along with health journalist Kellie Schmitt, who writes about the evolution of ultrasound in a new GeekWire article.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
