Diagnose ear infections at home with this low-cost smartphone accessory


Almost smartphones aren’t just being used for entertainment or communication.But now Developers are beginning to explore other uses for People, and now more than ever,Mobile-phones(smartphones) are connecting the gap between you and your doctor.

The recent example of this developing trend comes from a beginning startup by the name of CellScope. The company has developed an unfamiliar new smartphone attachment that superficially   transforms your device into a fully-functioning, network-connected otoscope — the medical invention that doctors use to look inside of people’s ears.
The invention, called Oto, fix to your smartphone’s camera, granting you to click pictures and track  video of the inner ear. These images and videos can then be sent through an assisting app to an on-call doctor for quick consultation.
This kind of stylish,smart, new-age, network-enabled doctor visit doesn’t come low-cost though. The Oto attachment itself price $80, and while the first discussion is free, each successive e-checkup will deposite you back $50. Still, it might be cost it if you’d rather not make the trip to the doctors’s office.
You can’t completely get your hands on Oto just now, but the invention is currently up for pre-order online. Details on when it’s supposed to ship have yet to surface, though, so in the meantime, we very suggest you check out some of the other awesome remote detection tools that are already out in the furious . Earlier this month we came cover Peek, which uses your phone’s camera to spot cascade; as well as SkinVision.
