A startup from Reno, Nevada has developed a 3D printed device that can turn your smartphone and Apple EarPods into a functioning stethoscope for checking heart rates. Called 'Hummingdoc Flip,' the new device could be a breakthrough for personal, at-home diagnostics, as well as telemedicine. Via guillaume riottot

Scoop.it!
Two highly motivated stakeholders (the patient and her husband) had access to the patient’s medical data and were able to enhance its value using new era tools (software and 3D printing) and bring it to the docs – clearer – so they could better apply their clinical skills. Specifically, the physicians who read the scans before had not seen the situation clearly. With the tumor printed, a better picture emerged. That is adding value in medicine. Want to print your medical image? Ask your doctor for your DICOM files and download 3D Slicer (slicer.org). Then use the Region Growing tool to segment the image. Extract a 3D mesh of the surface, save as an STL, and use ParaView (paraview.org) to simplify it to a manageable number of triangles. To see more details, check out Make: volume 42, page 83, or visit makezine.com/ projects/3d-print-your-medical-scan.
