Researchers at Washington University in St Louis are working on a mobile phone based ultrasound machine which could radically improve medical diagnosis in remote and inaccessible areas. The USB device can be used to scan internal body organs, eyes, and veins and arteries for IVs.
David Zar and William Richard are pricing the device at $500 (super cheap, compared to current portable imaging products.) Two thumbs up for making expensive technology gadgets accessible to more people!!
