Company Overview

Sonivate Medical, Inc. (SMI) designs, develops, and manufactures innovative ultrasound technology. The company's technology opens new markets for ultrasound by extending its use into new classes of procedures and new clinical settings.

The SonicEye™, SMI's first product, is a high-performance, fingertip-mounted ultrasound probe that combines ultrasound imaging with simultaneous tactile feedback, while leaving both hands free to do work. Although it is simple in concept, the finger-worn transducer is a disruptive technology. Ultrasound is inherently low cost, portable, and safe, but adoption has been hindered because current transducers are awkward to use for procedures and are challenging to learn how to use. The SMI finger-worn transducer addresses these limitations. It allows hands-free use for procedures, and it is intuitive to use and learn how to use because it leverages what the body already knows -- how to use the hands.
