We’re heading to Vegas! Scotland’s Novosound (known for ultrasound innovation) is making its mark at CES 2025 in January. If you’ve not heard of CES (where’ve you been?), it’s the global stage for next-gen tech. Gadgets, gizmos, and groundbreaking ideas, all the razzmatazz that techies drool over. And trust us, we’re bringing something so revolutionary it might just steal the show.
We’re talking about Slanj, a world-first wearable ultrasound sensor that monitors blood pressure cufflessly, wirelessly, and with the power to see and measure the arterial wall in real-time, leaving guesswork behind.
First off, let’s get the name sorted—it’s Slanj, Scots Gaelic for ‘to your health’ (Sláinte, for the purists). And trust us, your health is about to get a serious upgrade. Unlike those clunky cuffs or the “best guesses” from existing blood pressure monitors, Slanj offers real-time, accurate insights into your blood pressure. How? By using ultrasound, unlike PPG which infers your pulse—or an uncomfortable traditional cuff that can’t measure continuously.
Imagine this: no awkward cuffs at the GP. No unreliable readings from PPG. With Slanj, you get precise continuous data straight from your wrist, effortlessly. Here’s the kicker—this isn’t some far-off sci-fi dream. It’s here. It’s Scottish. And it’s set to transform the future of digital health.
Think of the implications. Hypertension—the ‘silent killer’—is a leading cause of death worldwide. The problem? Most folks don’t even know they have it until it’s too late. Slanj changes all that. It’s the kind of tech that could help people catch life-threatening conditions early, without a doctor’s visit. We’re talking saving lives while you scroll Instagram or play Candy Crush.
Oh, and it’s not just blood pressure. Slanj’s sensors can measure hydration, muscle health, and more. It’s like having a mini clinic on your wrist—but one that looks way cooler than your granddad’s blood pressure monitor.
From the lochs to Las Vegas, Novosound’s vision is simple: Ultrasound. Integrated. Everywhere. This takes ultrasound out of hospitals and into the hands of people everywhere. We’re showing that Scottish innovation isn’t just playing catch-up—we’re leagues ahead. Our thin-film ultrasound sensors, developed right here in bonnie Scotland, are paving the way for a healthier, smarter future.
CES isn’t just about showing off; it’s about shaking things up. And that’s what Slanj does best. If you’re in Vegas, here’s your chance to meet the tech that could redefine wearable health devices. Come find us at Booth #56026, January 7–10, and see how a small team from Scotland is making a big difference in digital health.
Our sensors aren’t just for wearables—they’re the Swiss Army knife of ultrasound tech. From aerospace to industrial monitoring, we’ve got clients in every corner of the globe who trust our tech to solve the toughest challenges.
Email us at info@novosound.net or pop by the booth to chat with our brilliant team. Who knows? Maybe we’ll share some whisky-inspired wisdom while we’re at it.
So, there you have it. Slanj isn’t just a product. It’s a movement, a game-changer, and Scotland’s gift to the world. From saving lives to redefining health tech, Novosound’s journey from Glasgow labs to global acclaim is proof that big things come from small places.
Vegas, we’re coming for you!
