Phone is Capable of Detecting Diseases

The use of smart phones is now wider and more varied. Currently, the smart phone can even be used to help users detect the disease.

Quoted from the official website Cellscope, this phone can capture and send high-resolution images of medical samples over the telephone network. The image quality is expected to improve as technology advances.

Researchers in the laboratory of cellular mechanics at the University of California - Berkeley have developed a microscope-quality diagnostics using smart phone Apple iPhone. But the technology will soon be used with other phones that use the Android system and other operating systems.

According to researcher Eva Schmid, CellScope camera equipped with a high-quality optical magnifying and large touch screen, making the image quality can rival a good laboratory microscope.

Schmid said the University of California at Berkeley labs are developing ways to use optical lenses had a smart phone to help diagnose the disease in different parts of the world, particularly where medical resources are limited.
