If you are in the medical profession, as a student, doctor, nurse, pharmacist or paramedic, chances are you are using or contemplating using a smartphone. Smartphones are vital not just as a medium of communication (voice, text, email) but because one has the ability to install and run a myriad of medical applications which are so useful when at the “point-of-care” or whenever one wants to look up bits of information when away from the desk or PC. In the heyday of PalmOS, that platform was the King-of-the hill when it came to medical applications (for a historical perspective, see my old PalmOS pages). Yes Palm...

Fujifilm Synapase Mobility is now available in the U.S., and not just on the iPhone, but for the Android and iPad as well. Fujifilm makes a variety of medical images devices, from ultrasound devices to computed radiology devices (x-rays).
If you use their backend server (Synapse PACS and Synapse RIS), you can now view your images on your mobile devices. What’s really interesting about their mobile suite is that it’s browser is independent, scalable, and doesn’t just display static images.

The hospital healthcare environment poses many important factors which impact upon the successful uptake of clinical software, these include:

lack of physical space for additional desktop computers or computers on wheels to address the above point
current laptops and Windows-based tablets are too heavy for carrying around by staff.

Researchers at Northeastern University are using nanosensors implanted into the skin — similar to a tattoo — and a modified iPhone to measure sodium and glucose levels in patients. The implications for this could be tremendous, but first, here’s how it works:
“The team begins by injecting a solution containing carefully chosen nanoparticles into the skin. This leaves no visible mark, but the nanoparticles will fluoresce when exposed to a target molecule, such as sodium or glucose. A modified iPhone then tracks changes in the level of fluorescence, which indicates the amount of sodium or glucose present.”

Compatible with iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, the $129 accessory costs three to four times as much as off-the-shelf blood pressure monitors, but integrates well if you’re looking to pair it with your Withings scale for a complete vitals management solution.
