American scientists have invented the world's first smartphone ultrasound scanner, which will revolutionize health care in countries with poor medical data.
The mobile ultrasound scanner, called MobiUS, can be plugged into a smartphone or tablet to display ultrasound scans on mobile devices. Her inventors believe that the portability and low price of equipment can bring about breakthrough changes in the health care industry in third world countries.
Ultrasound scanning is the use of high-frequency sound waves to scan the human body to produce images of human organs for diagnosis and examination. Most of the applications are during pregnancy, and ultrasound is also used for the examination of organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, bladder and breast. Ultrasound scanners, however, are often large and expensive and can only be placed in hospitals. For people in poor countries, it is often necessary to go far to have an ultrasound.
To solve these problems, scientists spent three years inventing MobiUS, which can transmit ultrasound images over mobile networks or WiFi. The scanner needs to be checked along with its accompanying tablet or smartphone, and the inventor is working on a scanner version that is compatible with Apple's iOS or Android operating system.
Compared to the price of £60,000 for an ordinary ultrasound scanning platform, the MobiUS is worth only £7,000. "The ultrasound is safe and effective to save people's lives, but about 70% of the world's population has no conditions for ultrasound because the instruments are expensive and not," said Seleche Chutani, CEO of ultrasound scanner manufacturer MobiSante. Portable. MobiUS is portable and inexpensive, providing ultrasound for remote and emergency patients."
He also said that accurate and cheap diagnosis is the key to reducing health spending. The MobiUS interface is simple and users can master it in a few minutes. MobiUS can connect to or store shared ultrasound images over the network for consultation or remote diagnosis.
MobiUS is integrated with a smartphone with its own power supply and WiFi, and can be connected to the Internet for remote diagnosis. These characteristics are especially useful for poor areas with limited power conditions.
