Technology Overview We are developing flexible and wearable ultrasound sensing technologies for continuous and long-term biomedical monitoring. Our research focuses on integrating piezoelectric ultrasound transducers into flexible and textile-based structures, enabling conformable ultrasound devices that can maintain contact with curved and moving body surfaces. Unlike conventional handheld ultrasound probes, wearable ultrasound devices offer the potential for repeated or extended monitoring without requiring continuous manual operation by a trained sonographer.
Binghamton University is a large, comprehensive public research university in the State University of New York system. Industry collaborates on campus through an advanced technologies complex with shared labs and prototyping facilities, and a health sciences campus adjacent to regional hospital partners. A downtown incubator and maker spaces connect faculty and startups with suppliers and manufacturing in New York’s Southern Tier, while co-op and internship pathways build talent pipelines for corporate R&D. Research is supported by competitive federal funding from agencies such as NSF, NIH, DOE, and DoD, with additional state and industry sponsorship. A dedicated technology transfer office streamlines IP protection, licensing, and startup formation.
