echoSURE is a portable NG feeding tube placement verification system using real-time biofeedback to confirm proper placement. Our technology consists of a disposable attachment containing a buzzer system that connects to the distal end of the inserted feeding tube and emits a continuous audio signal. An external acoustic sensor array is placed on the patient's upper body to collect the sound data. This data is then transferred and processed to provide accurate and fast verification to nurses and clinicians, significantly reducing complications and streamlining workflow.
