An MIT program designated to find inovated ways to capitalize on cell phone abilities has a very interesting vision on maximizing a cell phones capabilities by allowing health workers to take pictures of x-rays and transport the screenshot along with data over seas for a much faster response time. A non-profit organization by the name of Moca, created this particular software and decided to use cell phones because they are inexpensive, personal, connected and everywhere. Their main focus was to create health care access in less wealthy countries. Cellphones are becoming computers and with new technology going as fast as it is there's no telling what else could come of this to help benefit the less fortunate areas of the world.
Cell phones will ultimately get cheaper with time and their capabilities are going to be highly advanced. This type of sotware and technology can not only save many lives but open the doors to future innovations that will effect all countries.
