Diagnose skin cancer with your smart phone
Worried about a strange mole on your body? Imagine being able to receive a diagnosis through your smartphone so you can decide whether to visit your doctor before your next scheduled visit. That?s the broad idea behind a recent project created by computer scientists at Stanford University, which applied the extraordinary machine vision powers of cutting-edge deep learning neural networks to the world of dermatology. www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/deep-learning-algorithm-cancer/#ixzz4X0xkOJ

A smart vein finder
VeinViewer is a vein finder device that uses direct projection vein illumination to identify the vein patterns on a patient?s skin, making getting a blood sample and intravenous therapy easier. It's non-invasive and the image is projected right where the veins are, helping hospital staff find the vein faster and eliminating multiple sticks- particularly useful in treating children. www.christiemed.com
