The World's First Ultrasound Machine Based on a Cell Phone
| Working under a Microsoft Research grant, Cell Phone as a Platform for Healthcare, we modified commercially available USB ultrasound probes to work with a smart phone and developed the SDK presented, here. |
- This work was presented at TEPR+ in February, 2009: Presentation
- This work was presented at Microsoft Research TechFest 2009 on February 25-26.
- Microsoft Resaerch also published a white paper on this technology.
- Was shown at the 2009 World Health Care Congress in Washington D.C., April 14-16. The poster is here.
