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.
