Ubuchwepheshe ekunakekelweni kwezempilo nokululama

Udokotela wasekhaya? I-Smartphone Ngokwesibikezelo se-BBC Future sasekuqaleni kuka-2013, kulo nyaka odokotela bazoqala ukunikeza izinhlelo zokusebenza zezokwelapha eziphathwayo ngaphezu kwemithi (1). Lokhu kungaba, isibonelo, i-Scanadu Scout, inhlanganisela ye-biomedical yokuhlaziya idivayisi esebenza ne-smartphone noma i-laptop.

Igajethi kadokotela ilinganisa umfutho wegazi, ukushaya kwenhliziyo, ingasetshenziswa njengedivaysi ye-ECG elula, futhi yenza ukuhlolwa okulula komchamo namathe. Idivayisi ifana nokunikezwa kwamandla amancane noma idiski ephathekayo, ifakwe inzwa ye-infrared, i.e. i-thermometer, i-photoplethysmograph, isithwebuli sokulinganisa i-microcirculation yegazi, okuyinto, kanye ne-monitor rate yenhliziyo, futhi yenza umsebenzi wokulinganisa ingcindezi noma i-ECG. Izinto zokusebenza zihlanganisa isethi yezinzwa ezinamathiselwe emunweni wenkomba nesithupha. Inguqulo ethuthukisiwe ye-Scanadu Scout ihlanganisa ne-laser micrometer ekuvumela ukuthi ufunde ukuhlola okulula njengegazi.

I-Scanadu Home Doctor Kit idlulisa imiphumela yokuhlolwa isuka kuwo wonke amathuluzi okulinganisa ngesidlulisi se-Bluetooth iye ku-iOS ne-Android smartphone noma i-laptop efakwe isofthiwe yokuhlaziya, iqoqa idatha futhi icutshungulwe “emafini”, isiza futhi inikeze abathintwayo kochwepheshe bezokwelapha. Uhlelo lokusebenza lungakwazisa futhi ngenani lezimpawu ezifanayo endaweni, kucatshangwa ukuthi, ngokwesibonelo, ubhadane lwasendaweni lwenzekile. Umsebenzisi ubona ulwazi mayelana nokushaya kwenhliziyo, ingcindezi nezinga lokushisa ngemva kwemizuzwana engu-10 kusibonisi se-smartphone noma kusikrini sekhompyutha.

Ngokusho kukaDkt Alan Grenn, ophethe izici zezokwelapha zalolu hlelo, iScout iyakwazi ukubona amagciwane noma igazi ematheni nomchamo, futhi esimweni sokuhlolwa komchamo, namaprotheni noshukela, namakristalu e-oxalate.

Ama-Bionics noma obani abangazange bahambe? hamba, ngubani ongabonanga? ubona

Kungenzeka sibona inqubekelaphambili ekusizeni abantu abakhubazekile ngenxa yokukhubazeka ingxenye. Ama-prostheses e-Bionic? leli yigama lemishini yekhompuyutha, imishini yokuvuselela, isiza umuntu okhubazekile ukuthi anyakaze, ame, ahambe futhi agibele ngisho nezitebhisi.

Uzothola ukuqhubeka kwalesi sihloko kumagazini ka-March
