(Times of Israel) Michael Bachner - PulseNmore Ltd. is completing development of a revolutionary handheld ultrasound device that will allow pregnant women to check on the health of their baby using a smartphone. The device displays images on the phone's screen and can send them to a woman's doctor for examination, Hadashot TV reported Tuesday. The invention could revolutionize ultrasound tests in Israel, where pregnant women undergo 6-8 tests on average, according to Prof. Israel Meisner, head of the Obstetric Ultrasound Unit at Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva. He also noted the product's "calming effect. Women sometimes don't feel movement, call their doctor, and are told to go to an emergency room. Here there's the option to put a phone on her stomach and see her baby."
