Wireless, Smartphone Ultrasound Scanner A Safe Alternative To X-Ray For Lung Scanning, Clarius Mobile Health Reveals
Clarius Mobile Health, a digital healthcare startup, will demonstrate its ultra-portable smartphone ultrasound scanners at the CHEST 2016 conference in Los Angeles this week. Clarius Mobile Health’s user-friendly wireless scanners pair with iOS and Android devices for point-of-care assessments including chest diseases.
“Lung ultrasound has been shown in different studies to be a better test for numerous types of lung pathologies than a chest x-ray and sometimes even better than a CT scan,” said Dr. Shane Arishenkoff, an internal medicine physician in Vancouver, BC. “It gives me the ability to get real-time patient information rather than waiting for results. After initiating treatment, I can go back to the patient to see if my therapies are helping.”
