Guess what could this be? A mobile phone! Well, take a closer look. Do you see that image in the device’s display, it’s an ultrasound image of a person’s internal organs and this tiny devise is a portable “ultrasound scanner” christened “Vscan” courtesy GE. Amazed? Yeah I know, I was too, when I saw this super squeezed version of a machine that occupied almost an entire room. This product was rolled out by General Electric’s CEO at Web 2.0 Summit. Vscan is aimed at helping doctors make house calls easier, so that the patient doesn’t have to face the trouble of visiting a clinic. The price, as of yet, is under wraps, but you can expect it to burn a hole in your pocket, should in case you think of buying it. Nevertheless, the very idea of every expecting parent owning this personal ultrasound scanner sounds great. So, desirous parents, start stocking up the moolah.
