Top Medical Devices Startups in 2026

THE PROMISE With ultrasound a doctor can see into the heart of someone in cardiac arrest or into the abdomen of a woman with an ectopic pregnancy, and save their lives. 75 years after its invention, ultrasound remains an indispensable tool for diagnosis and monitoring. THE PROBLEM 60% of the world lacks access to medical imaging because current technologies are unwieldy, expensive, and require extensive training. While doctors carry supercomputers in their pockets, they still rely on the 200-year old stethoscope​ as their primary diagnostic tool. THE SOLUTION Our mission is to democratize healthcare by making medical imaging accessible to everyone around the world. Butterfly Network has raised >$350M to develop and commercialize a handheld, smartphone-connected ultrasound probe powered by AI. We operate at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and machine learning to create breakthrough technology that becomes smarter with each new patient.

As population continues to age, there is a growing demand for motor rehabilitation services. The problem is that the way we address this growth or rehabilitation services (physical therapy) has not changed in thirty years because we are still heavily reliant on a one-to-one patient therapist interaction which is costly, non scalable, and difficult to ensure consistent quality. At SWORD Health, we saw the opportunity to take a truly disruptive and transformative approach to this problem by creating the first digital therapy solution that addresses the growing demand for therapy while reducing costs, empowering patients with their recovery to ultimately recover faster, and providing a rich source of data for clinical teams and decision makers.
