Wicked. The labs at MIT are incredible. The college I went to was not cheap but our labs were garbage compared to what they have.
Incredible engineering guys. Great job to the team.
How much do they pay you to comment on clickbait? Where do I sign up? I could use some passive income
@@mawizard6341 what the fuck
@@mawizard6341 why clickbait though, lmao
Agreed.
@@mawizard6341 if you think that it's clickbait, then also explain why you think that way instead of crying about it without giving away any information
00:37 “two squared cm across” sounds very odd as cm2 is a surface and the side of the square looks about 2cm so that would be 4 cm2. “Two cm across” seems better. Or “two by two cm across”.
Just nit picking. This looks phenomenal.
They also used an allen wrench for size reference, which is available in dozens of different sizes.
Or said “2 cm squared”.
Now this is impressive. More work in to wearable medical components is always welcome as it cuts down considerable time wasted on periodic monitoring of vitals and organs.
If only we can improve the whole getting in to veins area too, particularly the clotting issue for long-term insertions. God I hate canulas, I still have a bruise from one last week due to an unfortunate 16 days in.
I'd love to see that price of glass dive right into a vein. Idk where the battery is but it's probably lithium based. It may help people with depression and bipolar disorders.
@@mawizard6341 how exactly would this help with depression...
@@DB4KK Joke about the battery being lithium. Lithium can help with severe depression and bipolar.
@@mawizard6341 why exactly a piece of glass?
MIT: "We have the brightest minds of humanity!"
Also MIT: "Two cm² across..."
Yeah hearing that was a bit of a wtf.
It looks like it's 2 cm per side, so 4 cm²
This technology can be used to control active prostheses instead of EMG sensors, that are limited to capturing only surface potential. Probably neural networks can help in transcoding of underlying muscle activity to precise control signals.
no it can't
@@chaselewellyn4287 Why not. It can detect the movement of the remaining muscles, and then some post processing of the data.
Biggest problem for EMG is sweat changing the detectable potentials of the skin.
@@marcwolf60 EMG can detect more subtle signal characteristics in addition to detecting movements and is already wireless. Even something as cheap as skin mounted accelerometers could do a better job at detecting macroscopic muscle movements, without needing to be replaced regularly.
@@marcwolf60 because its not EMG its ultrasound
I think EMG are very noisy because they are reading the activity of many muscles. Training for prosthetic use is a long process because the patient needs to learn to control individual muscles. Still, it's a complicated signal processing problem to isolate each muscle.
Imaging the muscles could become higher accuracy, given enough spacial and temporal resolution.
Am I the only one confused on how this tiny device transmits ultrasound waves and somehow contacts back to a device? Where's the battery? Where's the space for Bluetooth connection? Is it just me that thinks this device is way to small to actually house these things? These claims seem to be overblown and this device will likely never actually be marketed the way its being talked about in this video. You might have to carry around cables connected to a bank on your waist like an insulin pump
I'm fairly certain this is just a mockup and the 'chip' doesn't even contain actual ultrasonic transceivers.
I swear! This could just as well be the head from an existing ultrasonic probe.
The fact that they don’t show the ‘sticker’ in use, connected to the ultrasound equipment is not an oversight, but a deliberate attempt at making the device seem larger than life.
0:33 using an item for size reference that is available in dozens of different sizes with no visual difference between them. Smart.
If I understood correctly, the stickers currently work by being attached to instruments which I guess also power them? They said that the wireless option is a 'future goal', but they show the wireless sticker and a screen with feed from the transducer.
this is HELLA interesting. I freaking love the idea of knowing 90% of body problems just by wearing wireless, stickers or other types of light tech to monitor a person's health
except when the government knows that too
@@Youuuuuu honestly, unless you are a criminal, government knowing things about you is not a thing i worry about, because it doesn't affect me, or my health
@@zamas8141 unless that government becomes corrupt as it happens all the time always for tens of thousands of years
@@Youuuuuu Is everything made to be convenient really bad?
@@Youuuuuu sorry to break it to you but you're not that important.
MIT is awesome
"... measures about two square centimeters across ..." I think that was supposed to be "two centimeters across," making its area four square centimeters.
Interesting and exciting, but a bit of smoke and mirrors at this point. They don't show the wiring running to the imaging machine... they just show the sensor. And the image of the cervical spine they show is frankly very primitive and not that useful at all.
To add a wireless communication ability will add another "postage stamp" of circuitry, then there's the antenna situation. Then the battery. Then the need for skin to naturally shed. Then the need for a number of these devices in critical areas, all powered and connected. Then the social stigma. Then, then, then...
It's an interesting concept, but this is not a leap of technology by any means. And it's a bit disingenuous to present it as such.
Well put! I wonder how much universities spend on hollow PR like this vs research. I’m sure the ROI on PR is higher.
That is MEGA cool. Imagine pregnant women just being able to open an app if they want a look at their baby. Or an app connected to the sticker sending a distress signal to the ambulance whenever it recognises an incoming stroke of an elderly person.
Ultrasound can't detect stroke, let alone predict one. Mega cool nonetheless.
also: ultrasound heats up the area it scans slightly which can be harmfull for an unborn child.
Interpreting echo pictures is not easy for anyone.
@@Marburg3 Meh... it needs some energy to heat up the child and the amniotic fluid around it. I guess the sticker is not powerful enough to overcome the heat dissipation the system mother-child has
Ultrasound can effect the development of a fetus and if the wrong frequencies are used kill it.
hand amputees could benefit because ultrasound imaging of residual stump muscles is more accurate than electrical inputs when controling an artificial limb
People, don't forget that research breakthroughs are only the first step to engineering actual changes available to the medical field, which takes years to realize. Before you start nitpicking the commentary and the possibilities mentioned, imagine where we were 30 years ago and how ultrasound imaging has changed.
You took the words right out of my mouth. If you can make a freaking square of glass make noise, interprete sound, store energy AND do the wifi?
if you scan the body before hand with an MRI for instance you could map this data to the organs and get a better representation of its function. Animate the 3D organs based on the data from the ultrasound etc.
Mapping with MRI is not practical, MRI imaging takes a lot of time to produce
Obviously as a first step this is amazing, but I would be worried about the future of this device. My primary concern would be over whether or not it is reusable.
If this is a "sticker" in the sense that it is a one-time use, I am worried about the amount of waste this could generate. If it is reusable (or that is in the plans), then this is truly amazing!
Considering that you need to have an ultrasound maybe a couple of times in life the amount of waste produced would be insignificant.
God damnit, there are a million other useless things producing waste.
@@HDCamcord lol, like them damn masks you see in every gutter and parking lot... funniest part of it is the people that are mostly still wearing them are the greenie types..
@@filonin2 Right now that is true, but in the future - if this takes off - you could use ultrasounds for so much other imaging and it could be come so much more common.
This tech is amazing for sure, but it certainly has _potential_ to suffer from its own success. That is all I am saying.
@@HDCamcord That is absolutely true, Big Tech is a huge culprit and the amount of smartphone waste alone is astronomical, but that shouldn't be an excuse to produce on more waste product.
Even a proper disposal/recycling process would suffice.
“Ultrasound technician” isn’t a thing, they’re called diagnostic medical sonographers. The human element is necessary to acquire certain images no ‘body’ is built the same and no image is acquired the same way.
My thoughts, exactly! They have no idea about the amount of pressure we use or the contortions we undergo to acquire *diagnostic* ultrasound images, especially in a hospital setting.
They say AI will replace you first
I even doubt a robot arm could do that with current technology
Human lifespan is going to double in our lifetime, we haven’t even scratched the surface
We need more people doing this type of research and innovation. Amazing.
That is some incredible adhesive. I'd like to know how they made a square pain of glass do what appears to be magic. Why aren't these people working at apple? This freaking square of glass has wifi and a battery while also being clear. Why isn't my cell phone the same way by now?!?!?!?
@@mawizard6341 it isnt wireless yet they said, it can only transmit data from very few meters away.
@@mawizard6341 Yeah, what crazy person would rather develop lifesaving medical tech instead of luxury computer tech?
@@mawizard6341 MIT >>> Apple bro
Then do it yourself
As an ultrasound technician, I can assure you this is a very small part of a sonogram. And would still require a person to be physically watching a screen to monitor. 99.9% of the time "wearable imaging devices" wouldn't have any practical use. I doubt we'll be seeing this applied any time soon in a clinical environment.
My exact thought.
Impressive technology, indeed, but I see no practical use to it. Monitoring 2 cm² of tissue is pretty useless!
@@ordnaelshideout it is. I perform cardiac ultrasound called an "echocardiogram". And generally, unless a person is presenting with severe symptoms, or is on chemo monitoring, we don't do the exams less than a year apart. There's just nit that much that can actually change inside you, that fast. I can't see the practical use of just being able to stare at someone's heart valve for 24 hrs, when they don't change and nothing happens to them.
(Echo images were some of the first ones they showed moving on the screens in the video)
Or you can train an ai model to report anomalies from the continuous data feed. More data means more possibilities.
@@RC-sn1eu continous data feed from what? 2 cm² on a chest or belly?
I don't want to sound cocky, but do you have the faintest idea of how ultrasound works and is used in clinical environments?
Because I sure haven't got the faintest idea of what useful data even an AI could gather from such an insignificant source.
@@RC-sn1eu I doubt you could. Interpeting ultrasound imaging is quite hard. And requires significant training and intuition.
We don't have ai that can do anything remotely close to that.
This can be revolutionary. I can just imagine a dozen of use cases for this
This is honestly something that could revolutionize care in specific conditions. I have vEDS (vascular ehlers danlos syndrome) which is a genetic condition that causes fragile tissue in the body due to a defect in the collagen produced by our bodies. Similar conditions like Marfan's exist. One of the main reasons it's deadly is that organ and vasculature rupture is common and almost unavoidable in this disease. Patients typically undergo annual ultrasounds to check the heart and organs. If there's any issue starting, like an aneurysm, the monitoring is more frequent. Catching these early allows for "preventative" surgery with a much much much higher survival rate than an emergency surgery when it does rupture. This device could potentially monitor 24/7 on at risk patients. Doctors could look at images from each hour of the day and watch for changes. It could even potentially detect a rupture and send for emergency personnel and alert the nearest hospital to prep for surgery. Time is of the essence with ruptures, the sooner, the better your chances of survival, despite still being slim.
Wow, from ultrasound on iPad and iPhone to a device on your arm.
This makes my brain tingle.
AI to turn that into comprehensible 3D images, and being able to see on your phone a semi-live image of what's happening inside. (calibrated & learned with a top of the line cat scan on pigs, or whatever).
Fantastic! MIT brings bright future to humankind! Love from China.
Coming soon to MIT
Wireless would just introduce more noise and larger surface need and a battery. Just make a smaller magnetic data cable for the time being to help quick detach.
Hell make the cube into 8 data points or possible hex's and have those ends help make a bigger picture and use custom combo sections for the mapping.
This is still a cool progress though!
yeah some guy on RUclips knows more than some MIT engineers. Thanks for the tip bud!
I have to agree, drop the wireless.
@@josephbamber5403 It is called making a suggestion just because you are at MIT does not mean that you are not open to a thought that has not crossed your mind. Fresh perspectives are always good. Shooting down ideas is the best way to kill creativity.
Maybe I am being a bitch.
How would wireless transmitter induce noise? They frequencies are completely different and Very far apart. In addition, intelligent controls simply could turn transmission of while measuring and only sending data in intervals. Making it wired would make it pointless. Then you just could use a normal handheld ultrasonic device
@@tobias7166 So after years of researching wireless RF on the body, wireless can cause inflammation on the body, the noise would be in the body not on the device. This is only true for a small percentage of the human population but its enough to cause a scientific margin of error. It is caused by the Calcium-voltage ion gate.
This is one of those things that you would think would have already been invented. Cool stuff
Really ? Why steve jobs died...
How does such prolonged exposure to ultrasound affect the tissues?
probably a bruise
It's harmless.
no damage to tissues what so ever it is just soundwaves having frequency beyond our hearing range thats it, as to why we use it as it is inaudible so less problem also increased frequency leads to less dissipation on travelling through media so it can travel farther distances in our body even against a lot of resistance.
Around how much will these stickers cost and how advanced is the manufacturing process. This could pose some serious logistical issues to extend them to the medical field we know.
It's gonna cost a lot I would assume. Ultrasound machines and transducers are already expensive as it is.
With time, cost drops. For all tech, it's just good that it exists and being worked om.
@@st20332 yes but they have to be funded to get them to be produced in large quantities so the price will drop and an expensive product will still be expensive the only thing that changes is labor cost with mass production.
@@st20332 cost drops mostly when things become irrelevant
I'm curious what that hydrogel is. It's probably a highly specialized accoustic coupling gel. Like the goop they slop all over you when you get an ultrasound normally does the same thing. Ultrasound devices won't transmit/receive the accoustic signals very well if they're placed on dry skin because the speed of sound in air is actually really slow (relatively) at 330 meters per second. And just pressing it on dry skin won't give as much contact area as if you used a gel. By comparison, the speed of sound through plain gelatin is 2305 meters per second. And that extra speed translates into a clearer image because more signal are sent/recieved clearly through the gel.
Too bad 90% of the American population likely wouldn’t be able to afford such an amazing life changing and saving device.
why don't you show the thing connected to the power source when it's working. they only show the application and removal of the sensor patches. I mean, you say in the video that it doesn't get along without a cable. don't hide otherwise people will get the wrong impression
lol they cut the footage at 0:48 because the glove sticks to the glue and everything looks dumb/messy immediately.
Pffffft. GOOP already invented genuine vibe stickers containing certain frequencies a long time ago. About time someone else made progress. Those vibe stickers really knocked science out of the park huh. I guess the people at GOOP are just too smart.
Extinct the jobs for new job
Love you team MIT
❤
Amazing .....👍👍....Love from India
is this noble prize worthy? the applications that can be made are pretty revolutionary
how the electrical signals are transmitted to the array?and how the echoes are harvested from the device? It seemsnot clear in this video.
Im pretty sure this will revolutioniz the ultrasound technology and enabled multiple thematical medical procedures we currently have, great job, the next step will be to low the cost of producing one and method to mass produce
This shows exactly nothing, how does image get from the sticker to anywhere?
Is this and impedance matching sticker? If so call it that.
I love the idea of the hydrated layer. Great Job Team
pretty amazing for heartimaging.
Ultrasound tech here - great technology, but I don't think this has true practicality. We scan across the entire body/organ of interest to acquire different specific views and to scan across the entire area. Ultrasound is a slice. It only shows you a thin 2D representation of where the camera is pointing. Basically, you can only see 1 thin slice of a loaf of bread, but this won't help see what's happening to the rest of the loaf. Also typically, structures visible by ultrasound don't change drastically enough within a few days that you need a 24/7 feed. You'd just go get a repeat ultrasound in a few days as indicated.
Even in the instance of the heart where there's more focal points of assessment, you need steady/still clips to be able to assess how well the walls of the heart as squeezing. It's hard to see that when someone is breathing.
How does something measure 2 square centimeters across? It’s either 2 square centimeters or it’s 2 centimeters across, no?
Awesome, love from India
Amazing
superb idea
Hmmm.....no electronics to capture and send the waveforms.
I think this is missing part of the story....
This is amazing!!
That gel is weirdly satisfying on you skin though it builds if like a snot 🤣
This could be life changing device
this should be in one of those "humans are awesome" reels where they have people doing like extreme sports and skill shots
What a brilliant bit of kit 👌👍
Your doctors gonna want to know why you're "jogging" at 1 in the morning.
Amazing!!
I want to use for bareball elbow.
…from JAPAN
So where are the wires and the testing jig? Anybody have a link?
Perfect 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
American Technology - Portable personal Ultrasound
American Healthcare System - That will be 69,420$
Truly revolutionary, think the usual Ultra sound machines will be after all replaced by this wonderful technology !
Use case for this is limited by the fact that the sensor is static. Advantage of today’s machines is that you can move the sensor for different viewing angles etc. This will be limited to specific applications. Todays ultrasound machines will remain.
@@pasipagegwe or they would have to make it really cheap or cheap enough for doctors to make patients attach this for specific areas and have wide usage
Capsule endoscopy or ultra sound?
Hmm iiser pune students already developed it...
nice sticker, but i still prefer the much cheaper gel paste if my insurance won't cover the difference, which I suspect is quite large
uh so it's about the gel thing and not the array since I don't see how there is any implementation of wireless data transfer or signal processing
Bluetooth Low Energy seems like a great way to make this wireless! It'd require slightly more hardware, but that is to be expected
incredible breakthrough when they get this bluetooth/wifi
If the cost drops far enough, they could be used for training and educational purpose. Slap one on and watch on your smartphone how different parts of the internal body works. It could get interesting. Remember the popularity telescopes and microscopes are for kids.
I've had a few ultrasounds around my rib areas and it's exceedingly uncomfortable. This technology would be fantastic.
I can't wait to see how much it cost with insurance if it makes it to market in the US.
Strap a probe using a basic contraption and the gel. I mean this is just minituarization not a breakthrough. I understand that even doing this is incredibly challenging.
Amazing!
to the medical sonographers in the comment section. you're not losing your job anytime soon, guys. Please stop attacking anyone who's leaving a positive comment.
I dont' get it. Are you saying this sticker emmit the ultrasound, record and process the reflection and transmitt the result?
I love this technology ❤️
From India ❤️❤️❤️
Just stick a wire to it and conduct it to a tech backpack/handbag that the user has to wear at all times during the 48 hours check. I was OK with a similar procedure where they did the same but with just electrocardiograms.
Edit: How much does it cost right now? Some hospitals would pay a lot for them, even if it is a one use thing.
So a patch on the back of the torso could monitor surgery or laparoscopy, and or its impact on the tissues?
Wut. This tech is legit revolutionary, and you are telling me the people that made this are students??? My passion for the projects made by MIT has grew.
Student is a bit of a loose term for universities that have science courses
Most of them are fully working members of company's that develop these things
Apprentice is a much better term
this + ai for analysis is a cheatcode
@MIT. Am not sure if you can answer this:).
Hope the research team lead by Prof Xuanhe Zhao made the progress on developing its wireless version. Is there any hope that this will be commercially launched in 2023 or any approximate time-frame to make it publicly available?
This tech is guaranteed to slingshot personal healthcare monitoring to another level!!
That shit's cool as fuck, good job science dudes
AWESOME! :D
To be clear, the device shown in your video is only a mock up of what they are hoping to achieve and not real? Please show the testing device they are using to get the images and develop the tech. At least you got the qualifying words in at the end.
I like this
How is it wireless? Does it have a transmitter and a power source?
The device doesn't appear to be working as there is no battery or other energy source visible. I guess the shown sticker is just a proof of concept for the application and testing of the skin contact.
Thus it seems misleading.
Now how about an deep AI algorithm that will take all the input from the sticker and run it through previously diagnosed images to analyze it and highlight or gives prediagnouses notes for the doctors to help them make a better and faster desicion ! Bioscreening ideas like these always paints a bright future ahead for all of us!
Interesting stuff... was Mary Lou Jepsen's company not suppose to achieve same with red lasers some years back? Openwaters if I remember correctly. Anyway good luck to the team.
It looks great! But why would they do most of the tests on a person's arm rather than somewhere on their chest where most ultrasounds are done?
Is it just a light collimator or is there something more to it?
Actually pretty cool
can't wait to see how this is used in some horrific way instead of how it should be used.
For those who think this will make medicine more accessible and cheaper, think again.
They will charge you even more for what DOES NOT require a technician at your side.
That way they get money not only for service but for a none existent technician too.
Beautiful work
Great job MIT !!
Okay, now that's a really cool invention.
Wheres the power pack?
Also how long does it last?
It's not a real product. All those images are from traditional ultrasound.
This is just demonstrating the elastomere glue they use.
Hopefully they can get the size even smaller, such that an array of them can be used in a mesh set-up...that can be draped over more curvy body parts. That would effectively replace the barbaric mammogram machines. That would be a truly revolutionary product.
Where is the power suppy, if it is meant to work wirelessly?
