There is increasing demand and interest for rapid, affordable and accessible diagnostics. This accelerated the development and application of portable sonography machines at the point-of-care (POC). Normally, ultrasound machines are bulky and only used inside hospitals, but portable machines are light, small, and provide imaging in real-time in many environments (rural clinics, emergency care, and disaster relief). The paper examines the engineering design features of portable sonography machines including transducer technology, signal processing, low-power operation, and inclusion of multiple digital platforms, including smartphones and the cloud for diagnostics. The paper discusses many technical aspects including the difficulties with image resolution and detection of signals; occurrences of minaturization and cost-effective options; and issues with regulatory validation. Lastly, the paper discusses promising future applications including the digital technology including artificial intelligence (AI), telemedicine with wireless data transfer, and the role of new materials and systems to improve performance. While addressing issues of today with future possibilities, portable sonography machines may convert the landscape of POC diagnostics, mitigate disparities, and allow for the early diagnosis of diseases and conditions in many environments.},
