Philips Lumify

Modality: Handheld Ultrasound

Smartphone/tablet-tethered ultrasound — three transducer options (linear L12-4, curved C5-2, phased S4-1) that plug directly into an Android device via USB. Lumify runs a Philips-provided app; Philips maintains a subscription model bundling device, app, tele-ultrasound features, and support.

Variant-specific considerations

  • Android-only (no iOS as of 2026)
  • Subscription pricing includes app, OS updates, and Reacts tele-ultrasound
  • Three probes sold separately; no AI-beamformer like Butterfly iQ single-probe approach
  • Larger and less portable than Butterfly iQ but image quality closer to cart ultrasound
