The District collector inaugrated the function. This kit priced at under Rs 15,000 is connected to the rural internet kiosk and can transmit ECG, Pressure , Temp , pulse and stethoscope data. We will be now taking it to over 100 villages in the first phase in partnership with hospitals . Ponnapa Wonderful. I have been talking about the concept for years, but you are the first I have seen doing it. Please send full details. Can we connect your kit to a Simputer or Mobilis running Linux? What are the hardware interfaces? What does the software run on? What about electronic imaging for eye, ear, nose, throat, and skin, and for the doctor and patient to see each other? Voice over IP so the doctor can ask the patient questions directly? I have a contact at Stanford University who is also in a startup to create non-invasive blood chemistry instruments, starting with blood sugar measurements for diabetics. That means that they take the measurement by shining light through the skin, and don't need to draw even a drop of blood. Would you like to make contact with them? -- Edward Cherlin, Simputer Evangelist Encore Technologies (S) Pte. Ltd.
