    Abstract: A method for monitoring a patient using an ultrasonic probe includes attaching a conformable two-dimensional piezoelectric transducer array having a plurality of phased array piezoelectric transducer elements on an epidermal surface of a patient so that the conformable two-dimensional piezoelectric transducer array conforms to a shape of the epidermal surface. The conformable two-dimensional piezoelectric transducer array is attachable to the epidermal surface by van der Waals forces alone. The plurality of phased array piezoelectric transducer elements is operated as a phased array to transmit a focused ultrasonic beam to a specified location in the patient to be monitored. Ultrasound waves are received from the patient using the array. An indication of the received ultrasound waves is displayed.
