EMS World 2012 Innovation Awards 

The 2012 EMS World Expo saw us back in the Big Easy, where the folks from New Orleans EMS rolled out the red carpet and showcased all they have achieved since Hurricane Katrina devastated the area. Attendees participated in a wide range of continuing education classes, while also experiencing the latest EMS products, technologies and services on display in the exhibit hall. Read on to find my top 20 product picks and innovations from this year’s show. —Mike Smith, BS, MICP, EMS World Editorial Advisory Board

Guia de Alimentacion Saludable en Atencion Primaria

La grasa de la margarina tiene menor probabilidad de causar daños al corazón que la grasa de la mantequilla debido a que la mantequilla contiene grasa saturada. El ingerir demasiada grasa saturada es uno de los principales factores de riesgo de enfermedad cardíaca. La dieta alta en grasas saturadas puede hacer que una sustancia blanda y cerosa, llamada colesterol, se acumule en las arterias.

Mobisante’s MobiUS Smartphone Ultrasound

Mobisante’s MobiUS Smartphone Ultrasound  

Cellphones have come a long way with the rise of the smartphone. What used to be simply a means of making phone calls remotely, now is the way by which we can send emails, text messages, photos, and…acquire fetal images!
You can thank Redmond, Washington-based Mobisante for that last one, because it has announced that its MobiUS ultrasound imaging system has received FDA approval to be marketed in the United States.
MobiUS is the world’s first smartphone-based commercial ultrasound system. It consists of an ultrasound probe and a Toshiba Windows Mobile-powered smartphone with Mobisante’s software on it. Since the system is based on smartphones, it is extremely portable and very affordable compared to traditional ultrasound systems. In addition, it can utilize the cellular network and Wi-Fi capabilities of the smartphone to send images remotely.
Mobisante hopes to get their portable ultrasound systems into remote villages and rural hospitals where resources are limited, population density is lower, and medical assistance is not as easily accessible. Although if things continue to progress well for Mobisante and portable ultrasound technology as a whole, we may soon find expectant moms uploading fetal pictures of their bundle of joy to their Facebook newsfeeds. Thanks to Tom Cruise, only if they live outside of California, of course.
