An ultrasound device to be used by pregnant mothers at home!
Home cardiotocography (CTG) has been used in practice for decades, especially in high-risk pregnancies. But an ultrasound represents another level.
Terna has made it possible: they offer portable ultrasound rentals designed for pregnancy entertainment (!).
No diagnosis, no medical use, just pure fun. It's an important distinction!
It costs 120 USD to rent the device for 2 weeks, and 425 USD for a trimester (12 weeks). Shipping costs are included.
The service is currently available only within the United States.
What shall we prepare for seeing this? Pregnant mothers uploading video recordings of the ultrasound "examination" asking for ChatGPT Health's advice. "Is everything OK with my baby based on this ultrasound video?"
Mark my words. But still, I love it!
