I think EMG are very noisy because they are reading the activity of many muscles. Training for prosthetic use is a long process because the patient needs to learn to control individual muscles. Still, it's a complicated signal processing problem to isolate each muscle. Imaging the muscles could become higher accuracy, given enough spacial and temporal resolution.

Am I the only one confused on how this tiny device transmits ultrasound waves and somehow contacts back to a device? Where's the battery? Where's the space for Bluetooth connection?

This is honestly something that could revolutionize care in specific conditions. I have vEDS (vascular ehlers danlos syndrome) which is a genetic condition that causes fragile tissue in the body due to a defect in the collagen produced by our bodies. Similar conditions like Marfan's exist. One of the main reasons it's deadly is that organ and vasculature rupture is common and almost unavoidable in this disease. Patients typically undergo annual ultrasounds to check the heart and organs. If there's any issue starting, like an aneurysm, the monitoring is more frequent. Catching these early allows for "preventative" surgery with a much much much higher survival rate than an emergency surgery when it does rupture. This device could potentially monitor 24/7 on at risk patients. Doctors could look at images from each hour of the day and watch for changes. It could even potentially detect a rupture and send for emergency personnel and alert the nearest hospital to prep for surgery. Time is of the essence with ruptures, the sooner, the better your chances of survival, despite still being slim.

People, don't forget that research breakthroughs are only the first step to engineering actual changes available to the medical field, which takes years to realize. Before you start nitpicking the commentary and the possibilities mentioned, imagine where we were 30 years ago and how ultrasound imaging has changed.

And the image of the cervical spine they show is frankly very primitive and not that useful at all. To add a wireless communication ability will add another "postage stamp" of circuitry, then there's the antenna situation. Then the battery. Then the need for skin to naturally shed. Then the need for a number of these devices in critical areas, all powered and connected. Then the social stigma. Then, then, then... It's an interesting concept, but this is not a leap of technology by any means. And it's a bit disingenuous to present it as such.

This is only true for a small percentage of the human population but its enough to cause a scientific margin of error. It is caused by the Calcium-voltage ion gate.

Ultrasound tech here - great technology, but I don't think this has true practicality. We scan across the entire body/organ of interest to acquire different specific views and to scan across the entire area. Ultrasound is a slice. It only shows you a thin 2D representation of where the camera is pointing. Basically, you can only see 1 thin slice of a loaf of bread, but this won't help see what's happening to the rest of the loaf. Also typically, structures visible by ultrasound don't change drastically enough within a few days that you need a 24/7 feed. You'd just go get a repeat ultrasound in a few days as indicated. Even in the instance of the heart where there's more focal points of assessment, you need steady/still clips to be able to assess how well the walls of the heart as squeezing. It's hard to see that when someone is breathing.

no damage to tissues what so ever it is just soundwaves having frequency beyond our hearing range thats it, as to why we use it as it is inaudible so less problem also increased frequency leads to less dissipation on travelling through media so it can travel farther distances in our body even against a lot of resistance.

Bluetooth Low Energy seems like a great way to make this wireless! It'd require slightly more hardware, but that is to be expected

I'm curious what that hydrogel is. It's probably a highly specialized accoustic coupling gel. Like the goop they slop all over you when you get an ultrasound normally does the same thing. Ultrasound devices won't transmit/receive the accoustic signals very well if they're placed on dry skin because the speed of sound in air is actually really slow (relatively) at 330 meters per second. And just pressing it on dry skin won't give as much contact area as if you used a gel. By comparison, the speed of sound through plain gelatin is 2305 meters per second. And that extra speed translates into a clearer image because more signal are sent/recieved clearly through the gel.
