Mobisante MobiUS SP1 Offers Parents a Look at Their Baby in the Womb

— October 15, 2011 — Lifestyle
The most wonderful thing that can happen to expecting parents is receiving the very first picture of their baby in the womb, and with the Mobisante MobiUS SP1, parents-to-be can take a peek from the comfort of their own home.

The Mobisante MobiUS SP1 isn't designed for an iOS or Android platform; instead, it works on the Windows Mobile 6.5-based Toshiba TG01 smartphone. This is a mobile specifically developed to bring ultrasound imaging within reach for medical professionals everywhere. Best of all, it "can use the phone’s cellular and wifi connections for sending images for consultation or storage in the PACS system," according to Medgadget. It's a breakthrough device that will likely reduce costs and provide a more personal touch between physicians and patients.
Trend Themes
1. Smartphone Ultrasound Imaging - The development of ultrasound imaging technology integrated into smartphones allows for convenient and cost-effective prenatal care.
2. Point-of-care Imaging Devices - The use of portable ultrasound devices enables medical professionals to provide on-the-spot diagnostic imaging, improving patient care and reducing costs.
3. Telemedicine - The ability to send ultrasound images over cellular and wifi connections opens up opportunities for remote consultations and improved access to healthcare.
Industry Implications
1. Healthcare - The integration of ultrasound imaging into smartphones disrupts the traditional model of prenatal care, potentially reducing the need for specialized ultrasound clinics.
2. Mobile Technology - The development of smartphone-based ultrasound devices creates new markets and opportunities for mobile device manufacturers and software developers.
3. Telecommunications - The capability of transmitting ultrasound images over cellular and wifi networks creates a niche for telecommunication companies to provide secure and reliable data transfer services for healthcare applications.
