THE SMART PHONE AS A REVOLUTIONARY MEDICAL DEVICE.

Uber, Facebook, Alibaba and Airbnb all have something in common: none of these companies owns the asset that generates its unprecedented revenue (taxis, content, inventory and property rental).

This new business model is overhauling key industries throughout the economy.
 There are various platforms using the smart phone to deliver rapid and effective health care and veterinary services. 

An SMS,service in Nigeria delivers valuable information to subscribers about animal health and disease prevention.
The platform is planing an upgrade,where subscribers can interact in real-time.

 The service is enabled on any phone to cater for large number of farmers that dont have a smart phone,this is what the I-CONNECT-AGRICULTURE IS ALL ABOUT.

 A subscriber texts VET to 35818 from any network to signup.


There are a number of moonshots – large–scale government or enterprise–backed initiatives – promising to revolutionize the health sector, such as gene therapies, with powerful gene-editing technologies like CRISPR promising to transform medicine.

Costs associated with gene therapy have plummeted – where it once cost $100 million to decode one gene sequence, it now costs $1,000. There is a swarm of digital healthcare startups that is seeking to sort specific health challenges.

Moonshots rely on hundreds of billions of dollars of government grants or research endowments, but startups are able to disrupt their niches on very little money. And that's because someone else is paying to develop much of their technology – you, your friends and Kim Kardashian.

 The exploding online social interaction , a world where we reach for our smartphones a typical 155 times a day, where 52 billion messages are sent daily via WhatsApp, where you, Kim Kardashian and everyone else upload two billion pictures daily – puts enormous pressure on the smartphone industry to create and upgrade the technologies that accommodate this behavior.

 This includes super-high-resolution cameras, vast cellular bandwidth required to upload all our photos to the cloud, and the seemingly endless storage technology.

This very technology that allows us to keep up with the Kardashians also makes our smartphones unparalleled medical devices. A startup called Tissue Analytics lets you take pictures of a wound over time on your smartphone, allowing doctors to determine whether it's healing or festering.

   AliveCor lets you capture an electrocardiogram at home and alerts doctors if something is wrong with your heart. Netra Labs lets you take eye tests at home using mobile technology.

 China's internet giant Tencent recently acquired a major stake in Guahao, a startup that grew a massive user base as it enabled real-time geolocated physician appointments.

 This service was integrated into WeChat, as part of Tencent's vision of social digital healthcare. And there's a hardware and medical device arm – evident in the company's recent unveiling of its own glucometer.

 Because of all we are demanding from our smartphones and social networks, entrepreneurs with limited resources can now do what only governments could do ten years ago.

 All of these companies and hundreds more are leveraging today's Kardashianomics to make healthcare easier and effective while significantly reducing costs and freeing up our lives.

 Thanks to these digital wonders that define our engagement with today's technology and the startups that are harnessing it, our healthcare system is going to improve exponentially, and we as individuals are going to live longer… and better.

HOW TO MAKE GOOGLE CARDBOARD VR HEADSET.

Google has released an app that lets you slot your Android phone into some cardboard to make a virtual-reality headset. The app, titled Cardboard, is a clever way of making virtual reality accessible to a large number of people at relatively little cost. Virtual reality has made exciting progress over the past several years. However, developing for VR still requires expensive, specialized hardware. Thinking about how to make VR accessible to more people, a group of VR enthusiasts at Google experimented with using a smartphone to drive VR experiences. The outcome was Cardboard, which Google describes as "a no-frills enclosure that transforms a phone into a basic VR headset, and the accompanying open software toolkit that makes writing VR software as simple as building a web or mobile app". To build it yourself, you'll need a load of corrugated cardboard (Google suggests using an extra-large pizza box). A pair of lenses with a 40mm focal distance to keep the screen in focus, two magnets to act as hardware buttons, some velcro strips and an eight cm rubber band to hold the phone in place. An NFC tag to launch the app by tapping the headset. The construction is done with these tools, a ruler, glue, scissors and a Stanley knife., Once you've gathered all that together, then use the design card below.. If you get it right ,it will look like this, happy construction. read more wired.co.uk
