Cause of death: the autopsy

The model app is the app version of a specialist's own teaching brand and grew through his audience. About 12 ultrasound apps have launched since March 2026, and the model earns roughly $1-6k a month (an estimate). Revised base: $15k a year at 36 months.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

As a studio partnership where a clinician with an audience brings content and buyers (an owner decision).
