Automated doctors: cell phones as diagnostic tools.
“Here we are just playing Angry Birds,” says Wilson To. “How do we unlock [the] smartphone’s potential?” To is trying to do just that at Caradigm, a joint health technology venture of GE Healthcare and Microsoft Corporation. To is the lead researcher and codeveloper of Lifelens, a mobile phone– based diagnostic tool. Lifelens is still in its visionary stage, but the hope is to change point-of-c...
متن کاملCell Phones as Imaging Sensors
Camera phones are ubiquitous, and consumers have been adopting them faster than any other technology in modern history. When connected to a network, though, they are capable of more than just picture taking: Suddenly, they gain access to the power of the cloud. We exploit this capability by providing a series of image-based personal advisory services. These are designed to work with any handset...
متن کاملMobile Phones as Mediating Tools within Augmented Contexts for Development
This paper argues for the need to re-examine approaches to the design of, and research into, learning experiences that incorporate mobile phones in the learning context. Following an overview of ‘mobile learning’ the author’s argument describes two initiatives: Firstly, Design Research is presented as an approach that tends to have interventionist characteristics, and is process-oriented and co...
متن کاملComparative evaluation of two flowcytometric analysers as diagnostic tools for the automated detection of malaria.
GOALS Automated flowcytometric analysers are used to analyse complete blood count (CBC) in most patients. They differentiate WBC depending on their size, internal granularity, and nuclear content by producing various scattergrams. In malaria, haemozoin pigment-containing cells (parasitized RBC and phagocytic cells) are able to depolarize the laser beam and therefore exhibit abnormal scattergram...
متن کاملDijet Event Shapes as Diagnostic Tools
Event shapes have long been used to extract information about hadronic final states and the properties of QCD, such as particle spin and the running coupling. Recently, a family of event shapes, the angularities, has been introduced that depends on a continuous parameter. This additional parameter-dependence further extends the versatility of event shapes. It provides a handle on nonperturbativ...
