CONCEPT
妊婦さんのお腹の中の赤ちゃんの状態を知ることが出来る方法は限られています。
胎児超音波検査は詳細かつリアルタイムに行える検査ですが、
産婦人科医が手動で行うため実施できる場所やタイミングが限られてしまいます。
そこで、妊婦さんが自ら簡単にお腹に巻くだけで
超音波検査ができる医療機器を開発しています。
これにより、いつでも、どこでも、誰もが、
簡単に赤ちゃんに会える世界を実現していきます。

産婦人科医は慢性的に不足しています。限られた医師の時間をより多く説明や治療に割けるよう、超音波検査を自動化していきます。
結果は、分かりやすい形で妊婦さんおよびそのご家族に提供されると同時に、医療機関向けにはより専門的な内容が共有されます。
従来のように医師や検査室の空き状況に関わらず検査が行えるため、外来での待ち時間短縮にもつながります。
海外展開

海外では妊婦さんを家庭医や助産師さんのみで診療している地域もあります。
超音波検査を受けられず、異常が見逃され新生児死亡や脳性麻痺に至ってしまうケースも数多く存在しています。
こういった不幸を少しでも減らすため、私達は国外協力機関と共に迅速な海外展開を行っていきます。

Ultrasound Examination Device
Hardware Division
We are developing a groundbreaking device that enables ultrasound examinations by simply wrapping it around the abdomen.
The core component, a gel mat, is made of silicone elastomer, which excels in skin compatibility, ultrasound transmission, and durability. The device contains multiple ultrasound transceivers embedded within.
Ultrasound reflection images are processed rapidly by the GPU integrated into the device. While the prototype is powered via a power outlet, future versions will feature battery operation, enabling examinations without movement restrictions.
Currently, examinations were limited to a lying-down position. However, our device allows expectant mothers to monitor their baby's condition even while walking or sitting—activities that make up most of their daily lives.
3D Fetal Examination Model
Software Division
Using multiple ultrasound transceivers (probes), the device integrates reflection images captured from various angles to create a 3D representation of the baby.
Based on the size and movement of individual body parts, the software estimates the baby's weight and overall health (vitality).
Current manual examinations lack the ability to record precise details such as the probe's position and angle on the abdomen, often resulting in inconsistencies in results depending on the examiner.
Our device minimizes these inconsistencies by systematically directing ultrasound waves and comprehensively covering the abdomen with a gel mat, ensuring more consistent and reliable results.

Information Sharing and Collaboration
User Interface Division
Using secure wireless communication, the baby's image is displayed on a handheld device, making it easy for spouse or older siblings to view the baby together.
We are also developing an intuitive platform to share these special moments with distant family members and friends. This platform integrates with popular apps such as Mitene, Instagram, and Facebook.
We hope these features will support families as they prepare to welcome their new baby.
In cases where abnormalities or medical indications are detected, the system is being designed to enable secure and seamless sharing of information with affiliated medical institutions.
