This is the kind of investment in technology I think Bill & Melinda Gates should be remembered by, as well as their investment in vaccines and contraception. Great stuff ( and well done to the inventor)
Sure. As long as we remember the insults, lies and corruption as well. It's too easy to just forget bad past behavior just because suddenly they behave humanly.
I know there are all kinds of lists on github.
Is there a list of companies that are inherently good (I know it's subjective) and are hiring developers?

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
In the article, the dr uploads the scan for confirmation. I agree the average person shouldn’t be trying to self diagnose from a scan, but anyone could upload a scan to a dr they couldn’t travel to.
You can't just hand someone a probe and expect them to produce meaningful images. Especially in this kind of context where presumably they are getting used in dozens of different contexts; it really does require some medical reasoning and anatomical knowledge.

These days I think almost all resources should be thrown into inventing and developing carbon capture technologies.
I don't mean to belittle the achievement or sound harsh, but when thinking of priorities one has to consider what will happen if something is not done.

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)
Knowledge of animal anatomy or certain medical procedures are no help in trying to decipher an ultrasound image. I don't think you can just plop an ultrasound scanner into a farmer's hands and have them to do anything truly useful with it, to justify the investment. Not without training. One option would probably be to have a doctor remotely in a "command center" just looking at these as they are uploaded from the fi…

I had similar thoughts, but then I started realizing that investing in fighting malaria or cheap ultrasound scanners will matter little if in 30-50 years much of our planet becomes uninhabitable, which is now nearly certain unless we take immediate action.
