Butterfly Network has been recognized by Medtech Business Review Magazine as the exclusive recipient of “Innovative Point of Care Ultrasound Solution -2025,” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry. This profile has been developed by the Medtech Business Review research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Joseph M. DeVivo, President, CEO, Chairman of the Board .
Butterfly Network is rewriting the rulebook for point-of-care diagnostics by making cutting-edge ultrasound technology accessible, affordable and efficient.
It aids healthcare professionals worldwide with handheld, portable, cloud-connected ultrasound devices that offer crystal-clear imaging. Following a mission to democratize ultrasound and empower doctors, it delivers tools for hospitals and educational institutions to improve diagnosis, treatment and patient outcomes. Whether in emergency medicine, critical care, OB/GYN, or primary care, Butterfly’s probes provide precise, user-friendly imaging solutions.
Compass, a device-agnostic ultrasound workflow solution, streamlines the integration of these devices within healthcare institutions. It ingests scans from Butterfly probes and existing ultrasound devices, ensuring seamless deployment. Key features include customizable worksheets, automated data transmission to EMR and PACS, and quality assurance and proficiency management tools. It also supports documentation, billing and governance. Analytics dashboards provide actionable insights to optimize point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) programs.
At the heart of Butterfly’s innovation are the flagship iQ3 and iQ+ ultrasound systems, redefining traditional medical imaging.
iQ3, a third-generation probe, delivers twice the processing power of its predecessors. It offers superior image quality and unmatched diagnostic precision with full-body imaging capabilities, allowing clinicians to make rapid, informed decisions at the point of care.
iQ+ probe, Butterfly’s second-generation model, provides a versatile, handheld solution for various specialties, including cardiology and obstetrics. It comes with several imaging modes, including B-Mode, M-Mode, Color Doppler, and Power Doppler. B-Mode (2-D) provides high-resolution, real-time imaging of anatomical structures. M-Mode offers detailed motion visualization within a single scan line, which is essential for assessing cardiac and fetal heart rates. Color Doppler visualizes blood flow by indicating velocity and direction, while Power Doppler highlights blood flow amplitude, showcasing areas of increased vascularity. Pulsed-Wave Doppler measures blood flow velocity at specific locations, aiding vascular assessments. Together, these features make the iQ+ system an essential tool across specialties.
iQ+ Bladder automates bladder volume calculations in seconds, streamlining urological assessments. iQ+ Vet, a multi-species imaging solution for rapid, high-quality diagnostics in animals, extends this impact to veterinary medicine.
Once part of the Butterfly family, users can avail of flexible membership plans tailored to various clinical settings. This membership is required to activate and use the probes, as it provides the credentials needed to log into the Butterfly iQ apps. The app allows users to connect their probes, perform scans, access imaging modes and utilize advanced features based on their membership level.
Butterfly Academy is an educational platform designed to enhance the skill set of healthcare professionals. Offering in-depth tutorials, expert-led courses and hands-on training, the Academy is a resource that bridges the gap between updated technology and practical application.
ScanLab is a separately downloadable educational application specially designed for academic institutions. It works in unison with Butterfly devices to guide students in scanning and provides real-time feedback through anatomical labeling, quality indicators and comprehensive instructions for positioning probes. Utilizing AI, it ensures precise scan accuracy.
Proficiency Management, a Butterfly Academy feature, helps institutions track and assess the ultrasound competency of students, residents and staff. It provides ongoing feedback to ensure mastery of key techniques and long-term success in POCUS.
Butterfly pledges to elevate patient care worldwide, regardless of geography. As part of this, it provides ultrasound solutions to underserved regions with discounted pricing.
Expanding its offerings and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with portable ultrasound technology, Butterfly Network is setting the gold standard for medical imaging. More than a provider, it is a partner in transforming healthcare worldwide.
