Zargis Medical announced that it has begun developing medical diagnostic support software and related peripherals for the iPhone and other smartphones. The company has unsurprisingly identified the handheld environment as a logical delivery platform for its telemedicine and diagnostic software initiatives. In other words, the idea is to leverage a smartphone as a mobile hub between medical device peripherals and computer-aided diagnostic support.
And that’s about all we have at this stage. Exact details such as the first application release date were not unveiled, but I’m guessing we’ll here more on that matters in the near future.
Finally, we have Zargis’ CEO John Kallassy commenting: “The future of healthcare delivery is about connectivity and mobility. Zargis’ expertise in computer-aided auscultation and our advanced medical software platform positions us perfectly to create diagnostic software and peripherals that are a natural fit for smartphones. We intend to improve healthcare efficiency by helping clinicians bring medical technology to the patient, rather than the other way around.”

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
