Zusammenfassung:Wearable ultrasound has the potential to become a disruptive technology enabling new applications not only in traditional clinical settings, but also in settings where ultrasound is not currently used. Understanding the basic engineering principles and limitations of wearable ultrasound is critical for clinicians, scientists, and engineers to advance potential applications and translate the technology from bench to bedside. Wearable ultrasound devices, especially monitoring devices, have the potential to apply acoustic energy to the body for far longer durations than conventional diagnostic ultrasound systems. Thus, bioeffects associated with prolonged acoustic exposure as well as skin health need to be carefully considered for wearable ultrasound devices. This article reviews emerging clinical applications, safety considerations, and future engineering and clinical research directions for wearable ultrasound technology
