I've read about ultrasound induced bubbles destroying tiny amounts of tissue - probably not a huge individual risk like you say, but at the same time not one worth taking for vanity baby scans, and at scale of millions of people doing it the risks might play out for some unlucky babies.
Having said that, I think this project is wonderful. There are so many uses for ultrasound.
