Singapore-MIT launches wearable ultrasound patch for home monitoring of heart and lung conditions.
The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology has launched the WITEC project to develop the world’s first wearable ultrasound patch for continuous, real-time monitoring of chronic conditions like heart failure and hypertension.
The flexible, bioadhesive patch, designed to stay on for up to 48 hours, uses advanced materials and 3D-printed structures to transmit ultrasound waves, enabling home-based imaging of the heart, lungs, and liver without needing a technician.
Equipped with AI for diagnostics, the device aims to improve early detection, reduce hospital visits, and ease healthcare workforce shortages.
A clinical trial involving 50 heart failure patients will begin in 2026 to evaluate its effectiveness in detecting fluid buildup in the lungs.
