First time that I see that something can be connected to an IPhone. I wonder if you need special privileges from Apple, or there is an API available that can do some data (serial ?) transfer.
It has nothing to do with the phone or the software it's the device, which if you could get down to a hundred $ or so it could be used by farmers of livestock. This could be a revolution, but the Ultrasound Scanners need to be in the hands of low income farmers then imagine how quickly the dam ecosystem would develop across to humans. I've been looking to get a cheap one from China, but you can't, I'm not sure why, b…
I'm not sure you can mass market it. You need medical knowledge to make sense of ultrasound images. Unless you plan to use it for something else than medical

I'm not sure why the Africans need a $2000+ butterfly scanner rather than this kind of thing https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Veterinary-ultrasound-machin... ?
I presume the Chinese one isn't as good. The images do look a bit blurry.

The price of a portable ultrasound has little to do with the electronics as far as I understand it. Production of the probe's ceramic transducer is expensive.
Only works with Apple products? That's rather out of touch.

I don’t think there is any public API for this: you probably have to be in the MFI program to send data through the Lightning port.
Technically there is a serial cable you can buy for hobbyist/personal/internal use but "Under current Apple policy this cable may not be used with apps sold on the App Store." https://redpark.myshopify.com/products/serial-cable-l2-db9v

A lot of farmers have a surprising amount of medical knowledge. It is common for farmers to do a lot of simple medical procedures on their animals. Large farmers in the US already have ultrasound machines for their cows - they don't need to know everything about how to read them to know signs that mean call in help (thus saving a lot of money)
One option would probably be to have a doctor remotely in a "command center" just looking at these as they are uploaded from the field, and relaying the diagnosis back to the farmer.
