DMI rHealth - New Medical Device To Diagnose Disease
A new medical device designed by Massachusetts-based DNA Medical Institute (DMI) to diagnose any disease that require only a single drop of blood, the gadget is known as rHealth. This device won the award by Nokia Sensing X Challenge, with a prize money of $2.25 million.
DMI rHealth system embodies the original goal of the Nokia Sensing X Challenge, to advance sensor technology in a way that will enable faster diagnoses and easier, more sophisticated personal health monitoring.
The rHealth works using only a drop of the user's blood and tests it with nano-scale test strips to analyze blood by streaming it past lasers. As a result, the gadget can identify ailments like simple flu and even Ebola - which was given Gold Standard accuracy. It has a wearable patch that monitors the vital signs and can share data with rHealth and even a smartphone via Bluetooth.
