It appears that the cell phone will be the hub for a lot of health information. Allen Cheng at the University of Pittsburgh is working on HeartToGo, for mobile ECG. Daniel Fletcher at UC Berkeley converts the cell phone into a portable microscope for disease diagnosis with CellScope. Portable ultrasound is under development by Richard and Zar at Washington University.
