# A Stamp-sized Sticker developed by MIIT Engineers can provide Ultrasound Imaging for 48 Hours

In what would actually revolutionise the way ultrasound imaging would be performed. The [MIIT engineers](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1725/miit-engineers-have-developed-a-technique-to-boost-the-signals-coming-from-fluorescent-sensors) have developed a stamp-sized [sticker](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1302/facebook-messenger-updates-secret-conversations-features-adding-gifs-stickers-reactions) that would stick to the skin and would provide continuous ultrasound imaging. Well, right now this would be done by using sophisticated and heavy equipment that would require specialised technicians. These ultrasound machines provides live pictures of the heart, lungs, and [alternative](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2324/what-is-the-alternative-to-the-mvc) organs. However, they would be only available in hospitals and medical facilities, creating them inaccessible for several.

HIGHLIGHTSEngineers of MIIT had developed a stamp-sized sticker that sticks to the skinThe sticker should be connected to instrument to translate recorded dataIt would provide ultrasound imaging for around 48hours non-stop

It would be exactly what the engineers at the **Massachusetts [Institute of Technology](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/43822/what-is-the-placement-and-internship-scenario-at-ms-ramaiah-institute-of-technology-bengaluru) (MIT)** have aimed to solve with their new creation. They obviated the requirement to use large machines and developed a tiny sticker that would stick to the skin and would provide ultrasound imaging for around **48hours** non-stop.

While demonstrating the potential of the stickers, [researchers](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1544/mars-looks-more-seismically-active-than-before-thought-said-researchers) had applied them to volunteers and had produced live, high-resolution pictures of blood vessels and organs like lungs, stomach, and [heart](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1741/development-of-heart-helical-structure-model-by-scientists-which-can-create-artificial-heart) through the device. The volunteers were made in order to perform activities such as standing, sitting, biking, and jogging, during the whole time the sticker had maintained a powerful adhesion and recorded the organs of the subjects.

Aa described in the [research paper](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/102944/how-to-write-a-research-paper), in the current style of the device the sticker has to be connected to an instrument that would translate the recorded data or sound wave into pictures. However, if the device were made wireless then as per the it would be used for a range of purposes.

According to **Xuanhe Zhao**, the professor at MIIT, “**we envision a couple of patches adhered to totally different locations on the body, and the patches would communicate along with your cellphone. The place where the [AI algorithms](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/334140/ai-algorithms-unveiling-the-reasons-behind-companies-secrecy) would analyse the photographs on demand. We would tend to believe that we had opened a brand new era of wearable imaging: With a couple of patches on your body, you would be able to see your internal organs**.'

The team is currently operating towards enabling the device to perform wirelessly while they have been developing [artificial intelligence-based](https://www.mindstick.com/news/1343/rain-neuromorphic-artificial-intelligence-chips-are-analogue-gets-25-million-funding) software algorithms that would allow for higher interpretation and designation of the sticker's pictures.
