The old ultrasound,
Alethia turns the ultrasound machines hospitals already own into real-time diagnostic assistants. A tablet, a capture device, and a fine-tuned medical AI, built for the doctor who sees the patient first.

The gap
The right doctor is rarely the first doctor.
In emergency rooms and rural clinics across the world, the doctor on call is often a generalist, not a radiologist or sonographer. The equipment exists. The expertise does not.

The bridge
Same machine.
Different eyes.
Alethia Kit sits between your existing ultrasound machine and the clinician. A video capture device reads the RGB output of any legacy ultrasound, streams it into a tablet running Alethia, and returns annotated imagery, live, on-screen, as the probe moves.

How it works
Three layers. One device.
Alethia Kit is a single integrated product: Windows tablet (coming soon: iOS, Android & macOS), video capture, and the Alethia model, preinstalled, calibrated, and ready on arrival.
Hardware
Capture
Universal RGB ingest from any ultrasound output. Runs at 60 fps on commodity USB capture hardware.
Model
Process
On-device inference. Segmentation, classification, and structured measurement in under 100 ms per frame.
Interface
Assist
Overlays, alerts, auto-generated structured notes. Integrates with the clinician's workflow, never replaces it.

The Mobileye model,for medicine.
Mobileye didn't replace the vehicle. It added AI vision to the one you already owned. Alethia does the same, turning the ultrasound machines hospitals already paid for into real-time diagnostic intelligence. No new equipment. No capital budget. Just a smarter machine.
30x
Cost delta
Cheaper than a new AI-enabled ultrasound system. Same intelligence, a fraction of the capital.

Why now
Legacy ultrasound is everywhere, the install base is already paid for.
The diagnostic gap is widening faster than new sonographers can be trained.
On-device medical AI is finally fast enough and cheap enough for commodity tablets.
Regulatory frameworks for AI-assisted diagnostic devices are maturing in 2025.
