Transform ultrasound with Butterfly’s SDK²

Build custom ultrasound apps with Butterfly’s SDK

Use Butterfly’s SDK to build technology that gives you direct access to real-time imaging, automated workflows, and secure cloud integration—so you can develop tailored ultrasound solutions powered by our handheld probe and clinical-grade infrastructure.

What you can build:

Custom ultrasound examination workflows tailored precisely to clinical needs.
Real-time imaging apps fully integrated into Butterfly’s secure cloud.
End-to-end clinical solutions leveraging Butterfly’s probe, APIs, secure data management, and global distribution network.

Build and distribute your AI across our ecosystem

Run your models on real-time ultrasound data and deliver results—like annotations, measurements, or reports—right in the Butterfly interface. Build, test, and scale your AI across a global network of clinicians with our integrated SDK.

What you can build:

AI-powered tools delivering real-time ultrasound interpretations directly within clinical studies.
Automated measurements, annotations, labels, or diagnostic reports embedded seamlessly into Butterfly’s cloud.
Innovative ML solutions rapidly scaled and distributed across Butterfly’s global network of clinicians.
