John Martin, Chief Medical Officer at Butterfly, has struck gold with one of the first-ever portable ultrasound machines in the world. The Butterfly iQ is a handheld imaging machine capable of carrying out ultrasounds via iPhone. He was one of the first users of this product and used it to detect cancer cells in his throat..

The best part about this ultrasound machine is its affordability. A regular, normal-sized ultrasound machine costs anywhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to $115,000. Priced at $1,999, the Butterfly iQ will be available soon for pre-booking. The affordable price tag has been made possible because of the microchip used in this device.

Martin and his company believe that this is just a small step towards a plethora of portable medical equipment that might make its way to the iPhone with the support of HealthKit. The company has already raised over $100 million that will be used to strengthen its unique portfolio​
