SoNUS AI develops technology that analyzes sounds captured by ordinary microphones to screen for heart, breathing, brain, and gut diseases in both humans and animals. Their first product enables smartphones to perform detailed health and heart scans of animals with the same accuracy as specialist auscultation, aiming to make clinical‑grade health monitoring widely accessible.

Problem
Access to specialist-level auscultation and other acoustic health screenings is limited to clinics equipped with expensive equipment and trained professionals, leaving many humans and animals without affordable preventive diagnostics.
Solution
SoNUS AI leverages the microphones already present in standard smartphones to capture physiological sounds and apply AI algorithms that extract health indicators for the heart, respiratory system, brain, and gut. The platform processes these audio signals locally or in the cloud to generate diagnostic-quality assessments comparable to in‑clinic auscultation. By delivering detailed health screenings through a device most people already own, the technology enables early detection and monitoring without the need for specialized hardware or visits to a healthcare facility. This approach aims to make preventive health monitoring widely accessible across geographic regions and species.
Target Audience
Primary users include pet owners, veterinarians, and individuals in regions with limited access to traditional healthcare services who seek affordable, on‑device health screening tools.
