Loughborough University engineers have forged a partnership with experts in India to develop their unique mobile phone health monitoring system.
The device, which was first unveiled in 2005, uses a mobile phone to transmit a person's vital signs, including the complex electrocardiogram (ECG) heart signal, to a hospital or clinic anywhere in the world.

Created by Professor Bryan Woodward and Dr Fadlee Rasid from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, the system enables a doctor to observe remotely up to four different medical signals from a freely moving patient. Signals that can be transmitted include the ECG, blood pressure, oxygen saturation and blood glucose level.

This is a very good idea. Help us stop Mr. HIV – www.vir.us
We’re asking for your help in spreading knowledge, because with no cure or vaccine, knowledge about HIV is the best protection people can have.
Please go to http://www.vir.us/spread_the_knowledge.html for information on this campaign. You will have access to a selection of viral videos and trailers that can be watched and shared. For your own protection, visit our website www.vir.us.
The only thing more dangerous than HIV is ignorance.
