Not all medical innovation comes from the West.
Noninvasive testing was
prominent. For example,
engineers at Masimo Corp.
(masimo.com) redesigned
the firm’s Radical Pulse
Oximeters into noninvasive
and continuous hemoglobin
monitors. The company
says blood-hemoglobin level
is one of the world’s mostfrequently
tested medical
indicator because it helps diagnose
anemia, a blood disorder affecting
2 billion people worldwide. Older
tests were invasive and could only be
done intermittently. The company’s
Rainbow SET technology permits
more-frequent and convenient
testing. This helps health-care
personnel make better clinical
decisions earlier, especially in acute
settings such as intensive care,
surgery, and trauma, where blood
loss is common.
The eZscan non-invasive diabetes
screening device gives healthcare
personnel a quick way to detect type
2 diabetes and pre-diabetes, based on
altered neurological skin functions.
