Although the new iPhone was born at the end of the year, iOS went online, and many developers were slightly worried about whether the previous app could run perfectly in the new system, but it turned out that this is not a problem.
Of course, we have tried a number of excellent physiological health tracking apps like Nike+, MyFitnessPal and MayoClinic. Up to now, apps for health treatment and disease prediction have begun to show up.
The trend today is that doctors have found that with the help of an iPhone, the purpose of healing and saving people can be achieved.
Oto Home Otoscope
The startup Cellscope recently launched a bunker iPhone medical accessory - the Oto Home Otoscope, which is priced at only US dollars. It can be connected to the ear of the user via Bluetooth and inserted into the user's ear to check the ear canal. The purpose of the infection.
Ear infections are a very common disease for children. According to authoritative data from the US medical system, the total annual cost of treatment for this “small disease†in the United States is $3.5 million, and an average of 80% of children under the age of 3 have ear canal infections.
Young children often have to endure the “violence diagnosis†of doctors in crowded hospitals, so it is often the case that children do not cooperate. However, after having the Oto HOME otoscope, perhaps such distress will no longer exist. Even parents who don't know anything about medicine, as long as they use an iPhone, can capture the child's ear canal image clearly and accurately through this small device and send it online to the doctor. I believe this witty gadget can establish a connection between the family and the pediatrician.
Erik Douglas, CEO of Cellscope, said, "We want to bring doctors to every household. In the past, the complicated and cumbersome medical treatment process has been transplanted into mobile phones. Cellscope hopes to be able to do it anywhere, anytime. Both can bring intimate medical care to users." It is reported that this equipment will be widely available in the United States in 2015.
Swaive ear thermometer
In addition to this Oto Home Otoscope, another iPhone accessory that is convenient for children and the elderly can certainly not be missed. The $79 Swaive is a tactile thermometer that connects to the iPhone via Bluetooth and tracks changes in body temperature in real time.
Swaive not only provides fast and easy measurement of body temperature, it also provides monitoring data for women who are trying to prepare for pregnancy, because fluctuations in female body temperature mean they are ovulating. Of course, these physiological health data will be uploaded to the Apple Health platform, which will bridge the gap between users and doctors.
In an interview with Mashable, Gurpal Bhoot of the Swaive team said, "This product is designed to help parents or the general public to transmit temperature data to the doctor. The App can record the symptoms of the human body and the medications taken, accurate for the doctor. Diagnosis and treatment provide a valuable historical record."
AmWell always summons doctors
In addition, for those who don't want to go to the hospital to see a doctor or have no medical insurance, the iPhone certainly has a good solution to this problem.
An app called AmWell allows users to make video calls with doctors at any time with FaceTime and does not require an advance reservation. AmWell has built a medical network with many physicians who can provide real-time diagnosis and feedback to users. The user opens the app and selects his or her favorite treatment room based on the doctor's resume (including information such as academic qualifications, time of employment, and rating). Each time the video is spent, it costs only $49, and the machine collects the ticket and reimbursement credentials. It is really very human.
Although Apple has not made much of a difference in the field of health care, Apple Health's excellent platform has indeed brought the possibilities of entrepreneurship to many third-party developers, and users have enjoyed excellent product care. care. In the future, I believe that the goal of "can go to the doctor without going out and call the doctor at all times" will soon be realized. (Bio Valley Bioon.com)
