Smart Acoustics

Smart Acoustics is a private, early-stage biotech/medtech company commercializing novel ultrasound signal processing algorithms to create software-defined imaging systems. Founded by brothers Henry and Toby Gomersall, the company leverages Henry's PhD research from Cambridge to enhance existing hardware performance and enable new, niche clinical applications. The firm is currently in a pre-revenue, partnership-seeking phase, having developed a minimum viable product (MVP) with backing from the UK's EPSRC and technology commercialization firm TTP. Its strategy focuses on licensing its platform or co-developing specific applications with industry partners.

Software-defined ultrasound platform using advanced signal processing algorithms to move imaging complexity from hardware to software, enabling portable, upgradable, and customizable imaging solutions.

Smart Acoustics competes indirectly with large ultrasound OEMs (GE, Philips, Siemens) and directly with other startups in portable ultrasound and AI-based imaging software. Its differentiation lies in its core software-defined architecture focused on enabling new applications and enhancing existing hardware, rather than just miniaturizing traditional systems or adding AI post-processing.
