The Philips Lumify integrated most advanced probe and miniaturization technologies, but its price point, about $10,000 with one transducer and mobile app package is a bit high. If a customer wants to have three transducers at the same time, its price point is almost the same as a mid-range cart based ultrasound system. Recently, a new company, Butterfly iQ, located in Guiford, CT, USA, totally innovated transducer technology and introduced Butterfly iQ; that one transducer covers the Philips Lumify’s three probes applications with less than $5,000. The Butterfly iQ is not yet active on the market, but soon it will be commercialized. The Butterfuly iQ seems to be a market changer due to its price point and performance level. If then, the Philips Lumify should change its marketing concept and lower their price.
