I'm not sure why they're delaying things by focusing on making it wireless "so it can be wearable". A few years ago I wore a portable heart monitor for a three days and it was very much wired and it was fine, you get used to it. If you have a useful medical device that can help people then release a wired version now and go for wireless later if you really want to.

In the video, they did mention at the end that the device, in its wired form, can be useful for continuous (e.g. 48 hours) ultrasound monitoring in a hospital setting.
