Interview of Sonus CEO with Life Science Intelligence

a recent interview at LSI USA (Life Science Intelligence), a conference that brings together leaders and innovators from the life sciences and healthcare sectors, Hani Eskandari, CEO of Sonus Microsystems, shares insights into the company’s innovative approach to transforming ultrasound technology.  

With more than 20 years of experience in medical imaging and autonomous robotics, Eskandari discusses the motivation behind Sonus's inception which stemmed from the need to reinvent traditional ultrasound, which is often expensive, complex, and requires skilled operators. He discusses how by leveraging advanced polymers and nanotechnology, Sonus aims to create a new class of customizable ultrasound devices that are both high-performance and affordable.

Eskandari goes on to explain that Sonus's mission is to democratize access to ultrasound technology, making it as simple and accessible as checking one's temperature. The company is developing a wearable, AI-powered imaging patch that allows for instant triage of injuries, remote patient monitoring, and empowers individuals to take charge of their health, regardless of location. This innovation seeks to address the growing shortage of skilled labor in healthcare and expands the use of ultrasound beyond hospitals, into homes and clinics.

The company’s technology is especially promising for cardiac monitoring, addressing a significant public health issue: heart disease, the leading cause of death globally. With over 400 million people living with heart disease, and many lacking access to essential screening and monitoring, Sonus's technology aims to facilitate earlier diagnoses and improve patient outcomes. Traditional solutions often fall short—existing wearable devices lack the necessary fidelity, while echocardiography is confined to specialized facilities. Sonus's patch offers real-time, automated imaging, screening and monitoring without the need for expert operators, effectively closing the gap in cardiac care.
