Smartphone technology used for portable ultrasound imaging device
MobiUS is a smartphone-based ultrasound imaging system that offers a convenient and affordable alternative to conventional ultrasound equipment.
29th November 2011 in Health & Wellbeing.
According to US company Mobisante, more than 70 percent of the world’s population are without access to ultrasound devices, usually because they are too expensive and not portable enough. However, with the recently launched MobiUS — a smartphone-based ultrasound imaging system — they hope to offer a convenient and affordable solution.
The MobiUS device and abdominal probe are designed to allow medical professionals to take ultrasound images and videos wherever they are, and share information with remote providers via a mobile or wifi network. Measuring 5.1” by 2.75” the device can fit into a pocket, however a version compatible with Windows-based tablets is also in development with a bigger screen and higher image resolution. Users select what type of patient examination is taking place — for example cardiac or vascular — before starting the scan. Ultrasound images can then be adjusted in contrast and intensity, and the software can also calculate measurements and add text. A camera on the phone, meanwhile, can capture external images and video which can be shared via email or saved to a PC. Mobisante believe the device and probe — costing USD 7,495 — will facilitate quicker diagnosis, and will be ideal for disaster relief teams and mobile medical professionals. The video below explains Mobisante in more detail:
It should be noted that the MobiUS device cannot be used to make and receive calls or text messages, nor can the probe be used on other smartphone devices. However, there’s plenty of inspiration here for entrepreneurs hoping to make other medical tests more accessible using smartphone technology.
CAN YOU IDENTIFY WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH? BY STEVE FINNELL
ОтветитьУдалитьThe New Testament church began on the Day of Pentecost. Does the church congregation where you worship resemble the Lord's church. (Acts 2:47...And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved) (NKJV).
Acts 2:22-41......41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. (NKJV)
Acts 2:22-41......41 And those who believed Peter were baptized--- about 3,000 in all! (The Living Bible ---Paraphrased)
The 3000 all believed Peter when he preached Jesus as a miracle worker, and as Lord and Christ. They believed Peter when he said that God raised Jesus from the grave. They believed Peter when he told them to repent (repent means to make the intellectual commitment to turn from sin and to turn toward God) and be baptized so their sins could be forgiven. They believed Peter when he told them they would received the gift of the Holy Spirit. (That would be the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Himself.)
Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. (NKJV)
Acts 2:42 They joined with the other believers in regular attendance at the apostles' teaching sessions and at the Communion service and prayer meetings. (The Living Bible---Paraphrased)
Is that what occurs at the church where you attend?
1. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is made-made church tradition taught at your church?
2. Is the apostles doctrine taught or is a semi-religious entertainment session presented, with skits, jokes, and or a secular a perspective of God's teaching? Is the gospel presented as an alternative, or the only way of salvation? Is sin preached as sin and then apologized for, or is sin simply not mentioned?
3. Is communion offered every Lord's Day, or is it offered monthly, yearly?(Acts 20:7...on the first day of the week...)
4. Is regular attendance encouraged, or is Easter, Christmas, and a few Sundays a year deemed to be sufficient? (Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.) (NKJV)
5. Is prayer an import part of the church you attend?
DOES YOUR CHURCH LOOK LIKE THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?
