New cellphones to detect cancer
10th Dec 2005, 13:51 GMT
An Israeli psychologist has developed a radical new technology which would enable an ordinary mobile phone to diagnose breast cancer and various type of heart disease, the Haaretz daily reported Friday, via Phys.org and Engadget. "By installing new software and adding a basic infrared camera, a mobile phone could be transformed into a highly-effective diagnostic tool, offering far more accurate results than the self-checks many women do themselves. Dr Nitzan Yaniv, who developed the technology, said the results of the scan could be immediately transferred to a medical laboratory for analysis, which could determine whether further checks were necessary. ... Israeli phone operator Cellcom is currently working to integrate the infrared sensor technology into the cameras currently built into many mobile handsets."
