(Media Line-Jerusalem Post) Maya Margit - A revolutionary Israeli device is enabling quadriplegics to navigate all kinds of indoor and outdoor terrain either seated or upright while maintaining perfect equilibrium. Dr. Amit Goffer - himself a quadriplegic who invented the ReWalk bionic exoskeleton - has developed a specialized wheelchair at UPnRIDE Robotics, a next-generation mobility enhancer. HemoScreen - developed by PixCell Medical Technologies - "performs the world's most common blood test, which is the complete blood count (CBC), within five minutes," said CEO Dr. Avishay Bransky. "When you go into the physician's office he'll be able to diagnose and treat you in a single visit." The HemoScreen unit, roughly the size of a lunchbox, can also detect allergies, anemia and even cancer, among other afflictions.
