Ultrasound Exams by Phone

Now this is "game-changing". A low cost technology that could have profound impact on health care in the developing world.

Ultrasound Exams by Phone - Gadgetwise Blog - NYTimes.com:

This professor has designed an add-on to a cell phone that could remotely send U/S images to a physician. And this quote blew me away: "“I have a design for one that in a few years could sell at Walgreens for $199 and still make money,” he said."

It only took $100k of funding to create this product. And will have a tremendous impact on health care if it can be commercialized.
