“This breakthrough technology will, for the first time, enable non-invasive on-demand Doppler measurement of blood flow, which we believe will be an essential tool for the medical community.”
Founded in 2015, Flosonics Medical is engaged in the research and development of non-invasive sensors aimed at improving patient care.FloPatch is the world’s first wireless, wearable Doppler ultrasound system that enables rapid, repeatable, and trusted hemodynamic assessments throughout the continuum of care.
