Hi @SRich.4​ ,

ST is developing ultrasound transducer in PMUT technology, as you can see from this presentation.

However, for now these products are not available on the mass market.

So far, we have an analog microphone that is capable to detect up to 80kHz sound (the IMP23ABSU), but probably is too low in spectrum for the medical applications you listed above.

Meanwhile, I suggest you to check for the available products in the for the ultrasound conditioning (in acquisition and actuation) here.

We have time until mass production. If you agree we can test your new ultrasonic transducer if it is suitable for our needs in the future (and if it has a development card/kit). We can also sign on NDA.

Is the developing ultrasound transducer in PMUT technology is designated also for medical devices? Like for identifying blood flow, heartbeat, heart sound, movement of internal organs, identifying movement of fetal. As I understand, the piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducer (PMUT) is working well to listening to body sounds! 

What is the ultrasound frequency of the developing product? And if more than one?
