44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference

Jan 15, 2026

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

Hi, everyone. Thank you so much for joining us today. My name is Linna Campbell, and I am an associate with the Healthcare Investment Banking team at JPMorgan. It's my great pleasure to introduce Joe DeVivo, the CEO, President, and Chairman, and John Doherty, EVP Chief Financial Officer, and Megan Carlson, the Chief Accounting Officer of the Butterfly Network team. Please join me in welcoming the team here.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

All right. Well, first of all, thank you so much for the invitation. It's a great honor for Butterfly to be able to present at this J.P. Morgan Conference, the Super Bowl of healthcare each year. And thank you for all of you being with us on this last day. So we're very honored. But before I get into the presentation, this morning there was some news, a press release where we've had at the SPAC, we issued a bunch of warrants to select shareholders that had helped the company with the SPAC at $11.50. And those warrants are expiring. We knew this would happen. We would, of course, we wish our stock right now was at $11.50, $12.15. We think actually it should be there. But with those warrants expiring, there was some news. And so I think people were confused when they saw that press release.

We knew this was going to happen. That actually means it's unfortunate for those warrant holders. For existing shareholders, new shareholders, that's 20 million shares of dilution that won't be happening in the next month. No big deal to us. Again, except for the warrant holders who've actually been very faithful to the company. We're sorry for that. We'll get it up there and we'll get this stock running, which it has. Butterfly is such an exciting opportunity. I have a lot to share with you today. I'm just going to get right into it. We will have forward-looking statements as a public company, so please beware. Just a little bit of a history lesson. We started this company in 2011. The first ultrasound on semiconductor was developed in 2015.

That was our first version of Poseidon, our Poseidon family. I will talk about our family a little bit later. That first one was 2015. That's how long we've been working at this. We've launched several probes since then. We've been following Moore's Law. As our semiconductors get more powerful, we launch new probes with greater and greater imaging. We did go public in 2021. We now have launched Compass AI, an incredible software that I'm going to detail for you in a moment. What that does for us is that in ultrasound, there are different frequencies. There are different arrays for different parts of the body. Semiconductors used to be huge, or supercomputers, I'm sorry, used to be huge. Now you all carry one in your pocket. Ultrasound devices are huge.

But every doctor and every nurse in the world in the future will have access to be able to have an ultrasound device in their pocket. We are the stethoscope salespeople 40 years ago when they were convincing people to look inside or listen to the heart sounds inside the body when you're with a patient. We are now convincing doctors and nurses that they can look inside the body when they're with a patient to try to find earlier diagnosis, to be able to find things sooner. And then if they do, they confirm it with radiology. This is not in conflict with radiology. This amplifies radiology by increasing the funnel at the front end. But having one device that can do everything is so powerful. We have 1,000 of these in Ukraine. Most of the medics in Ukraine have these when they encounter a soldier.

We have these in conflict zones. We have these in Africa and rural countries where two-thirds of the world doesn't have access to medical imaging. This is a tenth the cost of an ultrasound cart. It's AI-driven. It's cloud-driven. It's semiconductor-driven. It's just awesome, and so we've been building a brand. We have the largest install base in the world. People understand what Butterfly are, what Butterfly is. About 80% of the medical schools teach kids on Butterfly. These medical schools want to learn ultrasound. They want to have this as a core competency, and it's not lost on our pop culture. This is the number one TV show in the United States right now, and just watch.

Speaker 4

Butterfly ultrasound works off a cell phone.

Speaker 5

Ooh, that's cool.

Speaker 4

If you can't feel a pulse, check for Doppler flow with this. It's a mini ultrasound.

Speaker 5

If all the screen pops.

Speaker 4

but a yellow can change to a red if they go south. You got to stay on top of them even if they seem stable.

Speaker 6

Okay, Sylvia, I'm Dr. King.

Speaker 3

Oh.

Speaker 6

Looks like closed-tip distal fractures.

Speaker 3

Strong pedal pulses, great flow with the Butterfly.

Speaker 6

Sylvia?

Speaker 3

What occurred?

Speaker 6

Sylvia.

Speaker 3

Sylvia, can you hear me? Sylvia, can you hear me? I lost a radial pulse.

Speaker 4

From a broken leg?

Speaker 3

What do we miss?

Speaker 4

I don't know. Heart attack, another injury from the car crash?

Speaker 3

That's for pulses.

Speaker 4

It has an eFAST mode.

Speaker 6

Diagnosis made?

Speaker 3

Blood in Morison's, liver laceration.

Speaker 4

Car hit the belly. Leg was a distracting injury.

Speaker 6

Drill in an IO. I'm going to get some blood, and then we'll move her to pink.

Speaker 3

Matteo, MTI 29, going to the status reports and anyone who's not.

Speaker 6

What's this?

Speaker 3

What's this?

Speaker 4

Unresponsive even to pain. No GSW. Strong pulse, but tachycardic and diaphoretic, looking for internal hemorrhage. eFAST negative.

Speaker 6

Help me roll it.

Speaker 3

Okay, where'd this guy go?

Speaker 6

Which patient?

Speaker 4

Perfect. Oh, and I borrowed your Butterfly from the gurney.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Did you butterfly the patient? Grab the Butterfly. Let's butterfly that patient. That's developing. When your brand starts to become a verb, you're doing something right. And we did not pay for this placement. They called us and said, "Can we have a new probe? How does it work?" And we taught them the medical. Someone on the medical team is a big Butterfly fan. And The Pitt is famous for asking emergency room doctors what they go through, what they experience. Tell me about a case or a situation when you had to deal with X, Y, and Z. And those are those situations that you're seeing on TV. It's why it's the number one show, because it's authentic and it's representative of what's happening in healthcare. And it's also why Butterfly is so awesome. And we can do virtually all these different specialties. You simply have a Butterfly.

You plug it into a phone or a tablet. You say, "I want to do a cardiac. I want to do pulmonary. I want to do a carotid. I want to be able to do MSK." And the device, because the semiconductor on chip or the ultrasound on chip, it changes the settings the second you say what you want to do. And then you go. That's why in the emergency room, you don't know what you're going to encounter. And so you have the ability to toggle it. But if you're a specialist with a certain part of care, that's great. And you want to focus on cardiac, that's great. But people also want to have the opportunity to look elsewhere in the body. We are an award-winning company, not just popular on TV, but the Prix Galien Award was the number one.

It's like the Oscars of the best medical technology, and we're also, at least to date, as far as I know, unless anything else has been announced, the only medical technology company to have an Apple Design Award, so for those of you that follow Butterfly, as Butterfly gets more and more popular, doctors, of course, use it in their practices. They use it outside the hospital, but now there are doctors where there's 50, there's 100 doctors in a health system that all have their own Butterflies, and when they go into health system, that data is not captured, and that's not a good thing. We should have that record in the patient data. The images should be in the DICOM, and they should also be filing for reimbursement.

About 35% of all the point-of-care ultrasound scans that are done in hospitals actually make it all the way to being reimbursed, so they're leaving about 65% of those scans on the table, which is, those ghost scans are dead revenue, and so we've been selling. We launched this a couple of years ago, a Compass software. We've been selling it to hundreds of health systems throughout the United States and different departments, and then several health systems where it's enterprise and in every department, but we've recently now made a major update, and that major update is by making it easier. Because while hospitals like capturing those additional images, doctors are like, "Ugh, this is another thing I got to do. It's another step I have to take," so with all these advanced AI tools, we've wanted to make this easier for them.

They have to fill out a document with 15-20 different fields in order for that document to be complete. So instead of them having to fill out each of those fields, what does a doctor do after a consult? They do a dictation, right? So right now, this doctor is doing a dictation. And our AI tool is listening to that dictation. And oh, okay, great. So now we have speech to text. So in that text are all the individual data points that you would need to fill out the document.

So instead of the doctor now having to go and fill out the document, our AI tool goes through the dictation, pulls out each of the data, and bam, populates it all into that file. Pretty cool, huh? I mean, it's something that allows for the doctors to win. So they get the document, but they don't have to sit there and toil through it. So what they do then is make sure it's accurate, it's complete. The file won't go through unless all fields are there. And so it'll be in red. They fill it out, and then they're done. So we are continuing to innovate. And when we talk about, we believe that every doctor that's applicable for ultrasound should have their own probe. Just like every doctor has a stethoscope.

They should be able to listen inside the body. They should be able to see inside the body.

And because there are diagnoses and things that happen that if you have to wait months for or you miss it, disease doesn't wait. It progresses. And capturing them sooner is the essence. And so Butterfly is the company that has the greatest scale in all of point-of-care ultrasound because we have the software, we have the devices, we're cloud connected. And all of this works in a seamless ecosystem into the EMR, into the DICOM, and into revenue cycle management. So when we now, as we mature and hospitals start saying, "Instead of all these doctors just buying them on their own, we're going to now buy them and give them to everybody," Butterfly is that enterprise company that will win.

And so what we've done now is we've started to open up our platform because we realize that there are a lot of other capabilities that can come through Butterfly. We have the largest installed base of point-of-care devices in the world. And there's a lot of people who'd want to access them. So we've started to compartmentalize our technology and then open our technology to third parties. Now, let me just, there's a lot of young people here, but some of you are old enough to remember this. Who here has ever had a BlackBerry? Yes? All right. Well, where are the BlackBerries today? We initially had to have a BlackBerry. And our institutions told us that those BlackBerries were the institutional lockdown device. This is what you have to use. What killed the BlackBerry? Not just the iPhone apps.

All of a sudden, every day, another app would come out onto the marketplace, another application, and now, wait a minute. You mean I can do GPS on my iPhone? I can get the TomTom off my dashboard, and I can now follow myself on the phone with a GPS app, so we have 27 companies today that are developing AI tools that'll link into our software development kit that our install base can purchase, put on their phone, pay them for that license, and now that application, whether it's a cardiac echo or whether it's a pulmonary congestion scan or whether it's for deep vein thromboses, a lower-level clinician who's not classically trained in ultrasound can open an app, and an AI tool can help them capture an image, a nurse in a home, or a doctor in their practice who wasn't classically trained.

About 80% of medical students today are being trained on Butterfly iQ's. So this is done. The die is cast. We've already won the game, right? But it's probably that 15- to 20-year victory waiting for all these kids who are in school now to be out in medical practice and changing the market. So how do we compress that sooner? We make it easier. Because ultrasound is the hardest technology to do a read and capture than all the others because they're much more automated. But with AI tools, it's going to explode. So we are very excited about this part. We've opened this. This is called Butterfly Garden. And it's happening. The first FDA-approved app came out last quarter. And that was HeartFocus from a company called Deski.

And if you are a lower-level nurse, you can just simply grab the probe, download the app, place the probe on the chest, and then the device starts, the app starts telling you, "Wait a minute, move it here for a better image. Twist it. Push down. Go at an angle." And the quality score gets higher. And then bam, it takes a picture. And it walks you through that protocol. So now a nurse in the home can take a cardiac echo, which is a $500 scan that you have to wait months for in the hospital. They can take the echo. They can send it to the cardiology clinic, and they can make a diagnosis. This is changing healthcare major velocity, and it's happening. And these are some other education apps that are available today. But now, every quarter, more and more apps are going to come out.

Those BlackBerries in the hospital are going to be obsolete. We're also not only devices, not only platform, but we're also services. We are working on home care and coming up with new models that will take the risk. We will work to educate those nurses. We will use these AI tools, and we'll show at-risk providers how to be able to care for these patients at an accelerated pace. We're really, really excited about where we are. Guys, something else is happening out there in the world. AI, we all know the explosion of AI. There's also some people out there with some fantasies. Those fantasies have to do with a convergence of AI into the human body. As AI wants to communicate to the human body, there has to be a portal. There has to be a language.

There has to be something digital that can communicate. Now, we've heard of brain-computer interface devices from Neuralink and other companies where they place wires in the brain. Well, the biggest issue with those wires is something called the Butcher Factor. How many neurons do I have to kill before I can get to the neuron I want to talk to? With ultrasound, we do something very unique. We have a chip, and that chip can actually move and steer the beam. So if you implanted it into the brain, that chip can scan the brain and see 25% of it just with one chip. And so other companies are starting to come to us and say, "You've spent $300 million developing this chip. You have 600 patents. We want to use your chip inside of our product." And in the past, we kind of pushed these companies away.

We had some non-healthcare companies that came to us, and we were like, "Oh, well, we're too busy building point-of-care ultrasound." Well, guys, I think we have a whole new business opportunity for this company. There have been companies in the past that have solved major technical problems for themselves. And then when they allowed other people to use it, built massive businesses that they never intended to build. Anyone remember a company called Amazon? Do you think that they went out there and built cloud computing to be a cloud computing company? They built cloud computing because they didn't think anyone else could do it at the scale they needed. And after they spent hundreds of millions of dollars in data centers, they were at 1% capacity. And they said, "Let's go sell some of this capacity." And today, AWS is the biggest profit contributor for Amazon.

Sometimes you solve problems that everyone else has. We have a unique semiconductor that has 9,000 sensors on it, each sensor like a pixel on a TV screen. Each sensor can be operated independently. So you change the color of that pixel, and then you change the color of the next pixel, change the color of the next pixel, you sit back, and you have a picture. Well, what if we allow people to be able to use this to program for their own methods of communicating for whatever product they have? It's a massive opportunity. We use this for ultrasound for our purposes. We can do all the different arrays. We can also do things that the competitive devices or the legacy analog devices can't. Ultrasound legacy uses a piezoelectric crystal. That crystal is a physically cut crystal.

Imagine having a camera that's tuned for near-sighted to see close, right? No matter what I do with the software behind that lens, that image, that beam is going through a lens that's going to only allow it to see near. So I got to go pick up another lens, and then I got to go pick up another lens. That's why legacy ultrasound, 40 years old, you have to have all these crystals. And companies who say that they have all-in-one devices now just pack it with a bunch of toxic lead. So we have this infinitely programmable chip that we've solved a foundational problem. And the programming of it is very exciting. And so what's happening now? We're all aware of cloud compute, but compute is getting now closer to those who want the intelligence. So now we're hearing about edge compute for AI.

We're talking about bringing AI's compute nearer to the use case. And that is the next wave of AI. And so we're seeing devices in the home where there'll be some type of computer in the home with the AI, and everything will compute off of that. So it doesn't have to go to the cloud, have the latency, get out of a network, etc. It can compute locally. And that actually has benefit for healthcare. So as we have this powerful cloud compute that's creating all this value, the next wave is now having compute closer to the patient. And a lot of medical institutions like that because they don't want to traverse a firewall. They don't want to have latency. They want to make a quick decision.

And so in healthcare, edge AI compute and AI compute actually on the device is going to be a very, very big market. And people believe AI in computer vision in its own is going to see billions and billions of additional market growth and market value. So today, Butterfly is a point-of-care ultrasound company. I showed you this slide. We are in all these medical departments. We are in all these different locations around the world. But we are now opening up our platform further. And that focus is now only one part of a much larger TAM that our company is going to be able to enjoy. Because our chips can be used for patient monitoring, pharmaceutical applications, bone healing, endoluminal applications, HIFU, catheter-based IVUS, robotics, neuromodulation, tomography. And we're having conversations now with all these companies who want to come in and license our chip. Pretty cool.

Pretty interesting. And just like the other companies who solved those foundational problems, it creates an entirely new revenue stream, an entirely new investment thesis for the company. And we've been proving this out. So our point-of-care handheld market opportunity itself from analysts is around a $2 billion opportunity. Hospital ultrasound is about $6.5 billion. And then getting ultrasound into long-term care facilities, we believe, is about $1 billion where we can actually the ultrasound device of the future is going to be this size. This is my AirPod case. They're going to send the devices home, put it on the patient, press a button. It's going to do a scan, send it to the cardiac nurse. All digital, all based on semiconductors. But now with that chart I just showed you, these are all the additional market opportunities that Butterfly never had before.

So if someone wants to come into our data center, theoretically, for that analogy, we now are going to be able to sell that capacity. Or we sell our chips to non-competitive companies who want to license our technology and who want to benefit from 600 patents, 15 years' worth of work, the best chip fab in the world, TSMC behind us, and a world full of knowledge. So now, many of you have heard of Octiv. We talked about Octiv. We initially talked about Powered by Butterfly, and then it became Octiv because we thought we would spin this business out. We even thought we would sell a part of it to get some non-dilutive financing into the company when we were a little bit more in need of capital than we were today. So we are not going to spin it out.

We are not going to have it as a separate company. We are going to become that company. And this program will be branded with our customers, Butterfly Embedded, because it's software, it's devices, and it's our chip. So our Poseidon family, we today are on iQ3, which is our P4.3 chip. And it's been amazingly accepted in the marketplace recently. We just sent to production our 5.1 chip, which would be the last chip from the Poseidon family, which doubles the mechanical pressure and improves harmonics. And what you can see in this image is harmonics. When you have higher pressure, the sound wave flows through the body better and gets a better image. Every big ultrasound company walked away from semiconductors because they said they will never get to harmonics. Well, you were wrong.

Now that our 5.1 chip is sent into production, and that'll be out in the next platform in the beginning of 2027, we've started developing on an entirely new family of semiconductors that will have 20 times the processing power of the current chips that we have today. And we have a roadmap for Apollo 1, Apollo 2, Apollo 3, and Apollo 4, and something that we'll introduce at some point in time as the superchip. But this chip will have the capability of not just edge AI, but running AI on the chip, on the device, having complex algorithms, providing value to clinicians. So as I mentioned, AWS, there is another analogy. I don't think we'll ever be as big as NVIDIA. But you got to remember, from 1993 to 2005, NVIDIA was a video game company, guys.

They made CPUs and GPUs, and they focused on what's the best gaming they can do. And in 2006, they launched a developer software called CUDA. And that developer software allowed them to open the platform to that third-party development. These are things that have been done before. And these are things that now we think we can do again. We think this market opportunity is huge. And we have already partnered with up to three different brain-computer interface companies. One of them that we've talked about publicly, Forest Neurotech, a vascular robotics company, Mendaera, a fatty liver company called Sonic Incytes.

And many of you who've been searching the case have seen this announcement we made with Midjourney, which is a GenAI company, which is a text-to-image GenAI company, who, within the terms of the agreement, this is about a $74 million deal that we signed with them for them to have exclusive license to our chip to a certain specific domain. I can't tell you what it's for because that's their opportunity to communicate this publicly. But it's a big, wonderful opportunity consistent with everything I just mentioned. They're an incredibly innovative company. And I think you guys will be thrilled when they choose to unveil it. Last thing I'll say, and I know I'm a minute or two over. I'm sorry about that. But Butterfly has been through a lot.

I came here in 2023 when our revenues were declining and we were consuming hundreds of millions of dollars of cash. Within the last 24 months, we have accelerated our top-line growth. We have improved our gross margins, and we've dramatically reduced our requirement to consume cash. We've raised money and are now, even within these licensing deals, bringing in more non-dilutive capital now into the business. We are completely poised and completely strong on our own balance sheet. We are executing as a company, and it's just going to be a great time forward. So I just wanted to thank you for your time and attention today. This is a great time for Butterfly. The restructuring, the questions are all in the past. It's now go, go, go. Thank you all.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

Thank you very much, Joe.

First, I want to say huge congratulations to you and your team for all the achievements today. Definitely very impressive technology and development.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Thank you.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

I do have some questions for you from the audience here.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Sure.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

The first question we have is, as we look ahead at your next generation of semiconductor chip, what should the stakeholders expect in terms of performance, capabilities, and strategic focus?

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

The next chip is our Poseidon 5.1. The 5.1 delivers double the mechanical pressure of all the other chips that we put together in the past. That mechanical pressure, by increasing the voltage through our MEMS, has allowed us to get to something called harmonics. And my analogy for harmonics, which would make an engineer cringe, is if any of you have been on a boat and you just hit the accelerator, the first thing that happens is the bow goes up, right? And then you just wait for a little bit, and then it starts to glide, and then it planes over the water, and it flows with less and less effort. When you increase the mechanical pressure at that site, it actually allows the sound wave to flow easier through tissue. And when that happens, the image quality is dramatically higher.

This is the big miscalculation of big ultrasound, why they didn't take a chip to market, and why our founder was so visionary to not only get into this, but believe that we would accomplish this goal. Now that we're at harmonics, everything is about processing power, and you saw what will happen with our next generation, but this is now in production over at TSMC. We will then put it into a device at the end of middle to the end of 2026 and have something in 2027. Thank you.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

Thank you, Joe. That's super insightful. I do have more questions for you here, but also wanted to make sure we take questions if there's any from the live audience. If you have any questions, please let us know, and we will have a mic pass around to you. Cool. I actually have more for you.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Okay. Thank you.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

So could you tell us more about the Apollo chip? What are the key benefits it brings in areas like compute efficiency or AI enablement?

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Thank you. Apollo is a completely different architecture from the initial Poseidon family. There are some things we were able to take out of the chip, which created space that can be done on other components in the handheld, which allows us to have much more room for an additional level of compute. That's a 20x compute on top of that, which will translate into the ability to run AI locally, but also the ability to continue to march up our image quality. We believe there's opportunities to make ultrasound look easier and get to 3D and to do other things, but you have to have that compute power at the place. A lot of the reason why these ultrasound machines are big is because they're taking analog signal in. Then they have to go through all this compute to convert analog into digital.

They represent digital on a screen. We don't have to go through that compute because we're acquiring it in a digital format. The other thing about Apollo is it'll use a lot less energy. It's much, quote unquote, "cooler." And so by using less energy, it means it's more and more amenable for implantation. It's more amenable for longer battery life, for smaller form factor. The gigahertz in a when Kodak launched their first digital camera, it was only one megabyte. It was only one. And the pixelation was not as great. And so they jettisoned the program. But once they got to three, five, seven megapixels in 2003, next thing you know, the image quality was as good as film, and digital took over analog. Well, everything has to do with the ability of having those increased megabytes.

And now you look at the iPhone, not only did they launch a 48-megapixel image recently, but the camera is only taking about 10% of the real estate of the phone. So everything and Apollo is a major leap to not only increase compute, but have the ability to be smaller and to take less resources. And so it's completely the next and the right chip for the next wave of AI and the next wave of not only ultrasound, but a lot of the things that we talked about that third parties very much are looking for.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

Thank you, Joe. We also have a question here for you related to the HeartFocus business.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Yeah.

Linna Campbell
Healthcare Investment Banking Associate, JPMorgan

Could you tell us more about what should we expect in your focus business in the near-term strategy and looking forward? How do you see chip advance influencing the future of the core business?

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Absolutely. So thank you so much. So we've put out about 150,000 units since our inception, and there are 27 million doctors and nurses around the world. So that's a massive market opportunity. We haven't even gotten started yet. And what's wonderful about our product line is that we've kept our second-generation product on the market, which is still very viable. And now we have our third generation. Our second generation is priced close to just a bit above $2,000. So that device has a lot of popularity in our global health initiatives. We partner with over 1,000 now NGOs who do medical missions and all different types of care for people around the world. And so we have the lowest priced device in the world. And we're also moving up the curve. So our next generation iQ3 is $3,899. So it's more expensive. It has more processing.

But we kept both on the market because we have the lowest price, and then we have the next version. And I think we're going to continue to look at what our portfolio looks like across the board. Probably one of the most important numbers on the slide I didn't talk about was we pre-announced our fourth quarter a few days ago. And we grew 17% year over year. And that's off of a quarter that grew 35% the year before. So our core business is, well, we started off a little slow because of some macroeconomic things that held some of our biggest projects down. But we had told the street that our fourth quarter was going to be a lot better and that we saw things coming back. And that number indicates it did. So we're very bullish about our point-of-care ultrasound business.

Just like I said before, there's going to be a killer app out there. One of these companies with one of these AI tools is going to be something that everyone absolutely has to have, and when that happens, we're ready. We have an incredibly scalable supply chain. We can go, we sell between 25,000 and 30,000 devices a year. We can go to 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 like that, so when the market's ready, we're ready. We're also all cloud connected. We have 25 million images in the cloud, and those grow 30,000 to 40,000 new images a day. So what's the most difficult part of developing AI? It's not the algorithm. It's having the data to run the models on, and we have the largest private database of medical ultrasound images in the world, and so we are the AI developer for ultrasound.

We have all of our partnerships, and we're developing our own AI tools as well. We are the device company that has the ultrasound chip with the different form factors. We are actively looking to develop our home care business and ultimately a wearable device of a size like this that patients have. We spent the first part of our evolution as a company trying to become equivalent to everybody else, which means you might think you're inferior. Oh, our image quality is not good enough. Yeah. In the beginning, when you're starting off with these semiconductors, it's a lot to get out in that first version and first generation. Now, as we're marching up Moore's Law, we have put more new innovation out in the marketplace than on the transducer side, than 40 years of legacy analog ultrasound.

We are no longer worried about being as good as everybody else. Our focus as a company is we're going to change the world. We're going to change the way images are acquired. We're going to change where they're acquired. We're going to change who's acquiring them. We're going to increase access to care for patients who need it. Two-thirds of the world don't have access to medical imaging. They will now with Butterfly. We will keep our prices of those generations low. We will work with NGOs. We will work with governments in need. We have an app right now in two African countries that you can, for many pregnant women in Africa, don't know the exact date of their conception.

And if you don't know your date of your conception, as you look at each of the phases of a woman going through having a child, they need different types of care at different stages. And if you don't know the age of your child, how do you know you can be given the best care? So there's an effort at a university in North Carolina. We built the app directly into our device. And we've now launched it into two African countries where you can simply take the probe over the pregnant uterus and scan it, and it'll tell you the age of the child. Is that insane? Yes, it's insane. That will change the world. Butterfly is in the process of changing the world.

Having a mechanism to deliver this intelligence in a small, cost-effective, durable, mobile way is the gateway to all of this intelligence getting to everyone in need in the world.

Thank you, Joe. It's very strong momentum with the business. I know we're close on time, but I'm going to squeeze in one more question.

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

Okay. Thanks.

We have one more question here related to your co-development opportunities. Could you tell us more about how do your future generation chip shape the evolution of co-development opportunities to a new possibility and along from a partnership standpoint with Butterfly Embedded?

Joe DeVivo
CEO, Butterfly Network

100%. So what's happening now is we're having conversations with people who want to use the chips, but they're using them, of course, for different applications. And one of the things we do when we get the material from TSMC is we can get it in a wafer form. So instead of just having the chip come in its cut predetermined form, we can get the wafer, and we can cut that wafer then in different sizes. Or you want a small one for a catheter. You want to be able to have something very small to put on a lens. You want something round, oval, et cetera, et cetera. So we are now working with these partners to identify how to meet their needs. How do we take our core technology, our core hardware? And it's not just the hardware. It's the hardware. It's the MEMS. It's the AI.

It's the software. It's everything that we've developed in order to make this platform amplify. And so when we meet with our partners, we create the roadmap, and we develop with them. And so far, the partners pay for that development. So if the partner pays for development that's not on our roadmap, that's incremental to Butterfly, and that's also incremental knowledge and additional capabilities that Butterfly brings in. This is a new era for the business. I could not be any more excited and proud of my team. I can't be any more excited about the technology, the executives I have with me, Steve Cashman in the back room who's driving our commercial business and our vision. We have an unbelievable opportunity here, guys. And you just keep watching and pay attention. Thank you.
