Although medical professionals are highly trained, interpretive diagnostic tools such as ultrasound scans present particular challenges, and tools to help better the process are so-far scarce. In particular, finding congenital malformations – or birth defects – in foetuses has proven difficult, as there are numerous conditions with an array of markers. Sonio’s diagnostics combine medical history and genetic data to identify prenatal risks for each patient, highlighting what the physician should be looking for. This is further combined with ultrasound semiology – which searches for markers in the scan – to ensure the practitioner does not overlook anything.

In 2024, the company was acquired by Samsung, a huge move that will benefit the company greatly going forward. While the company is continuing to operate independently, Samsung's software will further enhance its ultrasound tech offerings.
