RE: Scientists Develop A Smart Phone App Which May Replace Blood Tests For Quantifying Hemoglobin Levels
This is awesome! It almost sound too good to be true at first glance, but it's great to see that someone has been able to make something like this. I hope this ends up being used on the people who need it, and not just end up as an obscure app that is great in theory, but ends up not being used due to some political/monetarily reason.
I truly see no reason why it wouldn't be used, it opens up so many avenues for cutting costs and improving world wide healthcare. Seems like a true game changer!
I agree with that. It seems like a real game changer. I guess I am just a bit pessimistic about "free" health care diagnosis tools, since cutting costs will mean that someone somewhere ends up making less money, which could potentially lead them to lobbying against this app becoming commonplace.
Always possible, but I don't really see why the end user would care. Charge a couple bucks for the app, word of mouth can sell it alone.
