Overview

Butterfly Network makes medical imaging tools, focusing on point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). Its main product is the Butterfly iQ, a handheld ultrasound device that uses a single probe to scan the whole body.

The device is sold to doctors, nurses, and medical technicians in hospitals, clinics, and rural settings, with revenue from device sales, software subscriptions, and educational resources.
