Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a small, wearable ultrasound which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to assess the structure and function of the human heart for up to a 24 hour period.  And most exciting of all, it is only the size of a postage stamp!

Due to its small size and the lack of bulky equipment, the device can be used at home and during vigorous exercise. This capability will allow for the collection of real life data and will simplify testing for patients.
