Clarius Mobile Health

What Clarius Mobile Health does

Clarius Mobile Health is a Vancouver, Canada-based medical device company founded in 2014 that designs and manufactures wireless, handheld ultrasound scanners paired with a proprietary suite of cloud-based AI applications for point-of-care imaging. The product line spans eight HD3 scanner models — covering linear, curvilinear, phased array, endocavity, and specialty probe form factors — that connect wirelessly to iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The company's core technical differentiator is its proprietary Octal Beamforming hardware architecture, which replaces the expensive piezoelectric crystals and ASICs used in traditional cart-based systems with commodity components, enabling an ASP of roughly $5,000 per scanner versus $25,000-$60,000 for incumbent ultrasound carts.

The company monetizes through a hybrid hardware-plus-subscription model: scanners are sold direct-to-clinician through e-commerce storefronts, and Clarius Membership subscriptions bundle unlimited cloud storage, AI features, and remote clinical collaboration tools. Target end markets include emergency medicine, urgent care, OB/GYN, MSK, aesthetics, and veterinary practice — segments where portability, cost, and AI-driven workflow acceleration outweigh the image-quality advantages of cart-based incumbents. The installed base spans 35,000+ clinicians across 70+ countries, with over 7 million cumulative scans performed and a regulatory footprint that includes FDA clearance for AI applications (most recently Ejection Fraction AI in 2025/2026), Health Canada approvals, and CE marking.

Clarius employs 140+ people, is led by founder Laurent Pelissier with Kris Dickie as CTO, and operates as a private company without disclosed revenue. The combination of structural cost advantage at the hardware level, a proprietary and FDA-cleared AI suite, and a subscription-anchored recurring revenue layer positions the company as a differentiated platform in the point-of-care ultrasound category rather than a commodity scanner vendor.
