GE devel­oped the first ultra­sound machine the size of a lap­top, the LOGIQ Book. Ultra­sound oper­ates like sonar, using high-fre­quen­cy sound waves to diag­nose heart dis­ease, kid­ney dis­ease, can­cer, fetal defects and injuries.

Weigh­ing about 8 pounds, the LOGIQ Book was a sharp con­trast to cum­ber­some machines that weighed up to 300 pounds. We empha­sized its porta­bil­i­ty out­side of the oper­at­ing room by doc­u­ment­ing a long jour­ney to bring it to where it was need­ed most: a remote area with lim­it­ed med­ical facilities.
