Analyze your blood cells!
Holomic has combined a clip-on slide holder with the
built-in flash and camera of an Android phone
This technology from Holomic lets users capture
“holographic” images of the cells in a blood sample.
Those files are then sent to hospital-based pathologists,
who can scan them for signs of malaria, monitor lymphocyte counts (for people
with HIV), and more.
In this 15-part series on the thrilling, disruptive
potential of "mHealth," I highlight businesses using mobile
technology in health care.
Leveraging the wonders of a device that's fast becoming
ubiquitous – two in three people worldwide own a cell phone – a new generation
of startups is building apps and add-ons that make your handheld work like
high-end medical equipment.
Cheaper, sleeker, and a lot more versatile.
