The innovative adapter provides a 32mm lens and accompanying app that can turn an iPhone into a portable diagnostic gadget used by nurses to detect or rule out throat cancer.
The device captures live endoscopy examinations of the throat in high definition (HD), which can then be instantly shared with specialist head and neck consultants via a secure data cloud. A consultant then reviews the video footage and can rapidly detect any traces of cancer reporting this directly to the patient.
The technology is initially being rolled out across the West Midlands, with the potential of the gadget being used in any NHS setting, helping to freeing up time and resources in hospitals for cancer patients and reduce waiting times for treatment.
