Clarius Integrates 30 AI Models Into Ultrasound App
Clarius App 13.1 adds on-device AI tools for compatible smartphones, tablets and wireless handheld ultrasound scanners.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Artificial Intelligence
Clarius Mobile Health has integrated 30 specialized AI models into Clarius App 13.1, up from the 16 AI technologies it reported in December 2025. The models run directly on compatible smartphones and tablets without an internet connection during scanning.
Why it matters
The expansion shows point-of-care ultrasound increasingly relying on on-device AI to automate measurements and guide scanning. Delivering the features through software updates means existing compatible hardware can gain new capabilities without replacement.
The company-reported count rose from 16 AI technologies in December 2025 to 30 models in App 13.1, split into 12 measurement-automation models, 14 anatomy-overlay models and 4 workflow models. Independent performance data for the models was not disclosed in the source material.
The players
Clarius Mobile Health
Clarius Mobile Health is a company that makes wireless handheld ultrasound scanners and the software that runs on them, and it holds FDA-cleared AI models and CE-marked capabilities for European markets.
The details
Clarius App 13.1 is available for compatible Clarius wireless handheld ultrasound scanners and runs its AI models directly on compatible smartphones and tablets. Twelve models automate steps in cardiac imaging, obstetrics, urology and musculoskeletal medicine, while fourteen overlay anatomical illustrations and labels onto live ultrasound images.
Timeline
2020: Clarius introduced its first on-device AI model.
December 2025: Clarius reported 16 AI technologies.
October 28, 2026: Clarius announced 30 AI models in App 13.1.
The Tech Race
The expansion from Clarius's first on-device AI model in 2020 to 30 models in App 13.1 reflects a push to embed AI directly into portable diagnostic hardware. Competing ultrasound makers are pursuing similar on-device software strategies, though the source material does not detail specific rival product timelines.
Clinicians using compatible Clarius scanners can access the new models through a software update rather than new hardware. The on-device design means scanning does not depend on an internet connection, which matters in settings with limited connectivity.
The takeaway
For clinicians evaluating portable ultrasound, software updates may add meaningful capability to hardware already in use. Checking device compatibility and regulatory status for specific AI features is a practical first step before relying on them.
