Mobile Phones Drive Health IT Innovation in Developing Countries

Although the U.S. health care system has dominated the media spotlight in recent months, innovative mobile technologies are helping to fundamentally transform health care in many developing countries.

Remote Monitoring of Health Status via Mobile Phone Continues Its Momentum

Better health through your cell phone..wait until you read about this technology

In many Third World and developing countries, the distance between people in need of health care and the facilities capable of providing it constitutes a major obstacle to improving health. One solution involves creating medical diagnostic applications small enough to fit into objects already in common use, such as cell phones — in effect, bringing the hospital to the patient.

UCLA researchers have advanced a novel lens-free, high-throughput imaging technique for potential use in such medical diagnostics, which promise to improve global disease monitoring, especially in resource-limited settings such as in Africa. The research, which will be published in the quarterly journal Cellular and Molecular Bioengineering (CMBE) and is currently available online, outlines improvements to a technique known as LUCAS, or Lensless Ultra-wide-field Cell monitoring Array platform based on Shadow imaging.
