I have been recommending this system to people for over a year now after first discovering it. It probably single handedly is one of the best startups to invest in.
Just months before hearing it, my pregnant wife and I were researching how hard ultrasound devices are to build, and were very surprised at how ultrasound can be used to detect/diagnosis an insane amount of common illnesses.
The hardware and physics behind ultrasound isn't nearly as technical or as advanced as you may think, and nowadays it is mostly a software issue. Combine the imaging with personal baselining and machine learning across similar body types fitted to 3D human model templates, you'd get Star Trek's medical scanner.
The technology here could be used to eliminate 99%+ waste and inefficiency in the medical industry, effectively bankrupting the current institutions and disrupting the industry with better, cheaper, healthier, less-annoying care. This is a future we should be fighting for.
