1.1 System Description
The Vave Personal Ultrasound is a wireless, pocket-sized diagnostic ultrasound device consisting of both
hardware and a mobile application (“Vave App”). The purpose of the system is to provide a low-cost, easy
to use and high-quality ultrasound platform for teaching and clinical applications.
The ultrasound probe (“Vave Phased”) uses a state-of-the-art piezoelectric transducer, houses a removeable
lithium ion battery and components required for ultrasound imaging and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The Vave Phased can wirelessly transmit data to a mobile application (“Vave App”), which displays the ultrasound
images and allows certain image parameter modifications through its user interface. The mobile application
runs on non-proprietary commercial display devices capable of supporting wireless connections (iOS or Android
based tablets or phones) so users can view images and control the Vave Probe on a mobile device. Ultrasound
scans can be saved in an examination file on the device and exported for storage or printing.
