A new technology for phones being developed in Israel could help doctors preform remote
breast cancer checks by adding an
infrared camera and a bit of software. By detecting temperature differences and oxygen flow, the phones could be a
definite leap over self-checks, and Israeli provider Cellcom is already attempting to work the infrared sensor into
current phone cameras. The technology could also be used to detect heart problems, and seems much less invasive than
most other such solutions we've seen.

Is there anything they won't try and pack into a cellphone these days?
A decent phone?
"less invasive than most other such solutions we’ve seen" - if you don't mind sending pictures of your naked boobs around of course.
Sorry engadget, but their is an error in the article, unfortunelty the state of Israel does not exist
You know it's getting old now, useing the crossout thing, it;s just stupid and not funny.
This whole spelling error thing is getting a bit out of hand as well. By typing in "preform remote breast cancer checks", you really meant "perform remote breast cancer checks", right?
@Nick: your post is painfully ironic.
^ Yeah I agree, the crossout thing is getting out of hand. Also it doesn't come up on feeds so it looks like "to cause detect cancer" ......
The other feature of infrared cameras is that they can see through some types of clothing in some lighting conditions. Breast checks? I guess you could call it that!
not sure why this site constantly mocks cellphone/cancer links. here's an idea: sleep with cellie taped to your head for 3 months and tell us if anything happens. If nothing happens with that kind of exposure then we really do have nothing to fear...
I'm glad that people agree with me.
You spelled "perform" incorrectly
@Nick Bernstein
What are you talking about? If you have a problem with the state of Israel, then voice it in other places you fucking anti-semite.Ohh and if your in the NYC area we can have a in-person discussion about your "beliefs".
Hahaha... This is quite funny actually - "Heres a cell phone with a built in camera - take photos of your boobs and send them to me for examination! Its Free!" Meanwhile a new 'amateur' site appears on the web.
