About Butterfly Network

Butterfly Network is transforming point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) through its revolutionary Ultrasound-on-Chip™ technology. The company has developed FDA-cleared handheld ultrasound devices—the iQ+ and iQ3—that replace traditional piezoelectric crystal-based systems with semiconductor-based capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) technology. This breakthrough enables a single probe to perform whole-body imaging across linear, phased, and curved arrays at frequencies of 1-12MHz, eliminating the need for multiple specialized probes required by conventional ultrasound systems. The company's devices connect directly to compatible smartphones and tablets, making advanced ultrasound imaging portable and accessible at the point of care. Butterfly's ecosystem includes the Compass AI™ enterprise software platform for workflow management, documentation, and billing; an AI Marketplace with clinical decision support tools; and Butterfly Academy™ educational resources. The technology serves over 145,000 customers globally across emergency departments, ICUs, primary care clinics, and resource-limited settings. Backed by over 600 patents and powered by 9,000 silicate elements on a chip the size of a postage stamp, Butterfly has fundamentally reimagined ultrasound technology. The company's cloud-based platform stores over one billion medical frames and three million annotated images, supporting one of the world's most advanced AI infrastructures in ultrasound. Butterfly serves healthcare professionals including emergency physicians, hospitalists, cardiologists, anesthesiologists, nurses, paramedics, and medical students, with specialized solutions for health systems, educational programs, and global health initiatives.
