Windows Phone Thoughts: Turn Your Pocket PC Into a Sophisticated Medical Device

If you are a medical professional and ever need a highly portable oximeter (for measuring blood oxygen levels), here's a new CF-based solution: the Voyager Pulse Oximeter.



"Dolphin Medical introduces Voyager, the world’s first portable high-performance oximeter for the Pocket PC platform. The Voyager uses Dolphin Medical’s ONE™ (Oximetry Noise Elimination) technology, which is the first and only oximetry system that incorporates a digital sensor. Dolphin ONE™ sensors both amplify and digitize the signal in the sensor, resulting in a stronger and higher quality signal."

Other features include:

• Pocket PC compatibility that enables Voyager to be used with a drug database such as Mobile PDR
• Ability to save and restore patient waveforms, trend data, and voice / text annotations
• Synchronized voice event marking
• Incorporated perfusion index

I get really excited when I see products like this because it shows how the Pocket PC can deliver real, tangible benefit to people. If you are seriously interested in getting one of these oximeters, they can be had for about $599. You can also read a user review here.
