Ultrasound is an incredible non-invasive medical imaging tool, yet access to it remains limited due to the cost of current systems. Many devices rely on multiple piezoelectric elements, which increases system complexity, restricting how widely the technology can be used across different healthcare settings.

Sonarc is a low-cost portable handheld ultrasound device designed to make imaging far more accessible. It uses a single mechanically swept transducer instead of multi-element arrays, allowing the electronics to be simplified. The device is built using affordable components and a straightforward internal layout, making it easy to repair and maintain.

Sonarc is designed for use in remote settings, local GP clinics and by medical students, providing a quick and reliable way to carry out basic check-up scans.
