Not so long ago we heard of portable glucometers, digital pressure monitor and portable ECG equipment adding extra and valuable advantage to health care. The recently launched portable palm sized ultrasound ‘SIGNOS’ is the continuation of personalized health care. Apparently, SIGNOS is the world’s smallest pocket sized ultrasound. It also gave a new twist to medical innovation. More than anything else, this speaks of the power of technology. SIGNOS weighs less than 300 grams and has the same size of a PDA.
It provides fast and cost effective ultrasound system, besides featuring high image resolution. SIGNOS is so handy that doctors can wear it round their neck or can even be carried in their pocket. Due to the incorporation of Motion Space and Sector View technology, SIGNOS produces high resolution images on its display. It also has an internally operated Stethoscope and a 3.5MHz or a 7.5MHz transducer.
With the use of micro sd memory card, SIGNOS can save up to 20,000 images. These images can later be printed for detailed analysis and report printing purposes. With its great features, SIGNOS will surely receive a lot of attraction from tele medicine. This will be a great help for remote patient monitoring systems in the future and it will work the best in rural areas.
