Industries are developing the medical science as an bacterial growth rate, Every day their are hundreds of research running in the industries which makes easier for the doctors to operate the Patient and make them healthier.
Here are the top gadgets which makes the doctors life easier and use their potential at best.
1. A Pocket-Sized Ultrasound Imaging Device
Gone are the days when ultrasound devices took up as much space as a hotel cart. Now, you can actually have one that fits in your pocket.
Consider, for example, the Vscan series of devices from GE Healthcare. Each of the Vscans is about the size of your average smartphone, making portable echoscopy a reality for traveling physicians. The line even boasts a two-transducer (dual probe) model.
The Vscan devices aren’t alone, of course. MobiSante has the SP1 System, for example, which is just about the same size and has much the same capabilities. Whatever the differences between it and the Vscan gadgets, the point is that doctors have more choices than ever before for these sorts of devices now.
2. A Portable EKG Device
Arguably the best example is the AliveCor Kardia. Technically, its meant for use by patients who need to monitor their cardiovascular health. There’s no reason a traveling doctor can’t use it for his own consultations, though.
The Kardia Mobile is an FDA-approved device that fits in your pocket and delivers EKG data to your smartphone. All a patient has to do is put his fingers on the Mobile’s pads. If you have the Kardia app on your smartphone, the data should be available for readout in as little as 30 seconds.
There are also smart bandages now that let patients and their physicians keep an eye on their heart rhythms in real-time, by the way. An example is the Vital Connect patch, which uploads patient data to the cloud so that doctors can look out for danger signals.
3. A Smart Glucose Meter
This could come in handy when you need to learn a patient’s blood sugar levels in a flash. While standard hospital glucose meters are smaller than ever these days, there are also options that let you use your smartphone as one. They typically involve installment of an accompanying app and connection of a small device to your smartphone, but the end result is still a more portable system than the average hospital one.
There are a lot of smart glucose meters available nowadays, from iHealth’s Wireless Gluco-Monitoring System to Dario. When choosing one, though, you may want to consider the cost of the strips and having them shipped to your location.
4. A Portable Speech-to-Text Transcriber
This is for doctors who wear down their fingers with typing or writing down notes after patient examinations. There are any number of speech recognition devices for this purpose now, naturally, but possibly one of the best comes from M*Modal. Their Fluency Direct solution isn’t just tailored to work with EHRs but also sports features like computer-supplied immediate feedback that helps a physician improve his documentation’s quality.
5. A Sanitizing Wand
It might not take the place of your traditional disinfectants (like alcohol), but it could come in handy nevertheless. Sanitizing wands like Verilux’s blast surfaces with UV rays to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria. That makes them pretty good alternatives to liquid disinfectants when you’re working with fabric surfaces and the like.
