Sony Ericsson's technology staff said that as long as the cost of less than $50 is added, a regular mobile phone can be transformed into a new "test machine." This new mobile phone has great practical value for both rural doctors and patients.
More than 20 years ago, mobile phones were still a luxury in people's minds. Having a "big brother" was a symbol of identity and status at the time. With the rapid development of electronic technology and IT industry, mobile phones have quietly entered the pockets of ordinary people. The debut of the third-generation mobile phone (ie, 3G mobile phone) has turned the mobile phone, a convenient communication tool, into a "multi-function machine", including some computer functions, TV functions, and MP3 functions. Not only that, Western medical device manufacturers are actively developing new functional new mobile phones, namely "mobile phone-type medical devices" new concept products. The so-called "mobile phone type medical device" means that the mobile phone not only has the function of making a call like an ordinary mobile phone, but also can be used as a medical device product.
"Hospital testing machine" mobile phone products Sony-Ericsson is developing a mobile phone type portable medical laboratory machine. It is simply a small hospital laboratory. As long as the patient takes a drop of blood, saliva or urine and drops it on the chip inside the back cover of the mobile phone, the patient's CD4 cell count and T lymphocyte count can be measured in a short time, and the patient is judged whether or not the patient is HIV. (HIV) infection. According to reports, the phone uses a new technology called LUCAS (meaning "lens-free ultra-wide-angle cell detection alignment platform technology"). The machine uses ultrashort-wave blue light to illuminate samples (such as blood samples or saliva samples) to make cell count interpretation. A computer chip is attached to the machine, which gives results in a short time.
According to the developer, the LUCAS mobile phone tester can be used to detect a variety of practical uses such as malaria, AIDS and pregnancy. Sony Ericsson's technology staff said that as long as the cost of less than $50 is added, a regular mobile phone can be transformed into a new "test machine." This new mobile phone has great practical value for both rural doctors and patients.
A "smart phone" that monitors the patient's heart
In the United States, there are about tens of millions of patients with coronary heart disease, and the most feared by patients with coronary heart disease is a sudden myocardial infarction at home, and the treatment is delayed because no one is helping. Even if the patient can make an emergency call, it is too late for the doctor to come to the door. Technicians at the Medical Device Development Center at the University of Pittsburgh thought of mobile phones. They installed an electronic gadget in the movement of a regular mobile phone and named the phone "Smart Cell Phone." The modified mobile phone is placed on the chest of the coronary heart patient to monitor the patient's heartbeat at any time. Once the abnormal signal of the heartbeat is detected by the mobile phone, the alarm device pre-set in the machine will send out an alarm mobile phone signal, and the doctor of the community hospital will be notified at the first time, so that the latter can rush to the patient's home in time to take rescue measures. It is reported that the phone has been listed two years ago and has been promoted in California. As a result, the mortality rate of coronary heart patients who purchased and used "smart phones" fell by more than 60%. Because the machine has a heart disease monitoring function, the "smart phone" has been popular among coronary patients after its launch. Inspired by this success, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh are developing a second generation of new mobile phones that can directly transmit images of diagnostic instruments. According to researchers at the university, the new mobile phone under development can be connected to the B-mode via a wire and send the image of the latter to a remote medical center. After reading the images sent by the mobile phone, the experts at the medical center diagnosed the disease and gave it to the local doctor to take the correct treatment plan. This new type of mobile phone that can transmit diagnostic images will have a broad market prospect in the future.
Mobile phone turned into "diagnostic instrument"
According to a report published by the World Health Organization, about 75% of the world's population has never received physical examinations such as X-ray, B-ultrasound, CT, MRI, CT, PET and other modern electronic diagnostic instruments. Many people in poor countries have never done X-rays, which makes tuberculosis never known. I didn't think of going to hospital until the condition worsened. On the other hand, because poor hospitals spend a lot of money on the purchase of such electronic diagnostic equipment, the diagnostic cost is raised to recover the cost, which in turn affects the chances of low-income patients doing instrumental diagnosis. According to analysis, the electronic diagnostic instruments currently in use usually consist of three parts, namely patient health information collection system hardware, digital processing software and display system. Combine these three parts to become an electronic diagnostic instrument. IT technology experts believe that low-cost mobile phones can fully complete the first part of the work, that is, to collect patient health information. As long as the information is sent to the receiving end of the hospital electronic diagnostic instrument by wireless signal, the diagnostic instrument can be converted into a visible image after being processed by the computer software. In this way, the trouble of the patient directly going to the hospital for instrument diagnosis can be saved. It also reduces the cost of diagnosis. If the mobile phone can be promoted, the patient can use the special mobile phone to photograph an uncomfortable part of the body at home, and then transfer the captured image to the hospital terminal device, and the doctor can diagnose the patient's disease accordingly. According to foreign media reports, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have developed a new high-pixel mobile phone prototype (reported to have 5 megapixels) suitable as a "mobile phone diagnostic machine". The new diagnostic mobile phone is expected to be available in the near future. Its price will not be much more expensive than ordinary mobile phones.
"Air Medical Center"
Residents (especially older residents) often have a variety of health problems. They most hope to get professional guidance from doctors in a timely manner. Qaulcomm, California's largest telecommunications company, has developed a new suite of wireless medical services. Those who have an Internet phone in California use the new medical software system developed by Qualcomm Telecom to solve countless health problems anytime, anywhere. For example, if a diabetic has no hypoglycemic effect after taking the medicine, or if there is a flustered heart during running, and there are common health problems such as blood in the urine, just click on the button set on the mobile phone to get a reply from the community doctor. This newly developed mobile phone software is equivalent to having an "air doctor" to serve them anytime, anywhere. Newly developed air medical services are popular with California residents because many patients do not participate in US health insurance.
Remote diagnosis of “shoes and mobile phones†Americans like innovative products very much, and the same is true for mobile phones. A few years ago, a small company in the United States invented a new mobile phone model, "shoes and mobile phones." Its appearance is the same as that of ordinary leather shoes, but once the thick heel of the leather shoes is unscrewed, it can be found that a small mobile phone is hidden in the heel. It also has a display screen and a keyboard, which can be used to make calls. Researchers at the Medical Device R&D Center at Flinders University in the United States have a strong interest in this new phone. They intend to work with the inventors of the "shoes and mobile phones" to transform them into a new type of electronic medical device product - personal health information diagnostic machine. Dr. Gordon of Flinders University explained that people should not laugh at the idea of ​​this "shoes phone", do not think that only spies will be interested in it.
In fact, the human foot can express a variety of health information, such as blood pressure, pulse, blood oxygen and so on. As long as the "shoes phone" is slightly modified, the vital signs information can be transmitted to the community medical center remotely through the device under the patient's foot. The doctor can monitor the patient's condition through the received cell phone signal, and make a decision at any time. A decision is needed to treat or emergency the patient.
