Researchers at Harvard and
Massachusetts General Hospital have
teamed up to create a game-changing
$200 diagnostic device that can
analyze just a small bit of tissue and
provide cancer results within the
hour. The results are then ported
directly to a smart phone for review.

on Fetal Monitoring,

Smartphone health accessories continue to proliferate.
Recently MIT announced a new mobile device for
detecting cataracts.
“The main overlapping circles of things people track
are: fitness, health, sleep, mood, time/productivity,
energy, location, lifestyle/family, money, social media
patterns, learning/cognition.”

23
AliveCor, founded by Dr. David E. Albert, has
created an incredibly powerful and elegant
system that transforms the iPhone 4 into an
ECG heart monitor
Azumio, provides immediate information
satisfaction. The install takes under a minute, and
the app couldn’t be any simpler. Click “measure”,
place your finger over your phones’ camera, and
wait 10 seconds for the results. The app uses the
camera light to shine into your finger, and then the
camera lens itself detects changes in your blood
flow , and then calculate your pulse.

24
The Docvia team worked closely with medics to ensure that the application
answers the questions most needed to provide an appropriate emergency
response.

The MyGlucoHealth solution is the end-to-end integration that starts with simple
transmission of glucose readings, passes through a Personal Diabetes Care Center, and
then culminates with direct clinical access to the patient data which is layered with
patient reminder algorithms and trigger alerts to caregivers if glucose levels reach
dangerous thresholds.

26
The ease of data capture, matched with an equally
impressive data display format make this new blood
pressure monitor an outstanding example of
anywhere health.

27
First of all – what exactly is UP? Is it an app? Is it an
elegant health monitor/wrist band? Is it a fashion
accessory? The answer: all of the above! Here are
the specific details from Jawbone. It is the
combination of a wristband and I phone app that
tracks your activity and sleeps and inspires you to
move more, sleep better and eat smarter.”

28
Ford recently announced a
partnership with a variety of
healthcare providers, looking
at ways that the
Ford SYNC system can help
monitor patient health
condition while they are
driving.

29
Proposed system solution
• A mobile application that could test the sobriety level of a person who is
under substance influence.
• A device in a car or with an alcohol serving place (restaurant /pub) , that could
monitor the breathe and diagnose
whether the driver is sober enough to drive.
• A traffic police officer could have a device that could monitor, diagnose and
analyze the driver’s condition and within seconds the result appears.
The report could further be sent to the police station with a click.

drugs hidden in the closet. He was shocked and didn’t know what to do. Then , he tried
talking to his son but he avoided the topic. Mr. Verma finally went to his family friend

“I don’t believe in regretting the past”
Scenario
Yukta Sen had been working at Hope for Joy for the past 7 years. It’s an Ngo that helps any
kind of substance addict to detoxify their illness. She had quite an experience with her
clients. She believes people are regretful and feel guilty for their past mistakes. A lot of
time people in general are ignorant of the fact that they need help and guidance. They try
to hide their flaws by not sharing it with their loved ones ; which later on makes it bigger
challenge for the family. She thinks there is a whole need to spread awareness among the
masses.

Name : Charlie Fischer
Age : 32 years old
Marital Status : Single
Occupation : Pub owner
“Better to be safe than sorry”
Scenario
I am fed up of those people who drink more than 1 bottle of alcohol and then plan to drive.
It makes me really angry. Last night incident itself, when I got into an argument with this big
time builder son who was adamant to drive his car after being fully drunk. We finally had to
call cops so that we don’t get involved in any trouble. Thought these kind of problems are
quite often especially during Wedding and New year season.
