This article goes soooooo far beyond the abstract’s implications and I wish they had talked to someone who actually uses ultrasound regularly before writing it. This is a wearable patch to take serial images of bladder volume, thats it. It is useful in the very limited clinical circumstances where you’d like a single view of a single organ spaced over a few days, such as for monitoring for urinary retention.

For the vast majority of ultrasound techniques I want a patch to replace my probe about as much as I want a patch to replace my computer’s mouse.
