This is COMPLETELY unnecassary!]]>Aug 24th 2007 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/Aug 24th 2007 10:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/
Just like defibs, these things could help non-trained folks help save lives.

Or at least treat nasty boo-boos.]]>Aug 24th 2007 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/
If the wound needs more than just a Band Aid, then you need to get yourself to a doctor or hospital for evaluation AND treatment.

What are you suggesting? That people should keep a $6k device in their medicine cabinet so they can decide if they need treatment? Trust me, if you see a wound that needs attention, you'll know it. This device won't treat wounds, and the anaology to an AED (automated external defibrillator) is silly; AEDs diagnose AND treat an acutely life-threatening conditions. Wounds can wait until you get to a trained professional. Ventricular fibrillation cannot.]]>Aug 24th 2007 11:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/
Seriously, get over yourself. Any piece of technology that could more accurately diagnose a wound or control for human error should be embraced, not bitched about.]]>Aug 24th 2007 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/aranz-medical-works-up-handheld-wound-monitor/And since it measures skin lesions it's also good to see if something is growing, for which they apparently now still use the old 'draw a circle around it with a pen' technology.
And as it says, it also measures depth, that's a bit painful and possibly inaccurate and unhygienic to do manually I'm guessing, and can cause crosscontamination.

Do you have the tools and bandages to treat the wound? How does measuring a wound save a life like a defib huh?
...but being a star trek fan and aspiring....if we dont build devices like this now..then how else do we make better devices with more functions.
