Phrazer overcomes the language barrier for Patients


Phrazer :- A handheld communicator which identifies the native language of the patients. There are about 200 languages spoken in America alone and the busy doctors and paramedical staff faces a lot of communication problems while they are interviewing the patient. This phrazer is the world first Multilanguage communicator. The patients can provide their medical symptoms and problems to a virtual onscreen doctor speaking to them in their native language. It then summarized this medical information into a summarized medical report which is compatible with all the EMR (Electronic medical report) systems and the information is provided to EMR by the phrazor using Bluetooth or USB. It can also use the GPS, WIFI and 3G functionality.



 This phrazor can hold over 300 languages at once and after identification of the patient native language it gathers the information by the patients using prerecorded videos of the doctors which is in their native language. It will save lots of time of the busy paramedical staff and provide them with the efficient medical reports which eventually helped them out. These reports can be customized to suit an organization's individual language needs, and the translation is claimed to be almost 100 percent accurate.



When medical workers are having chat with a patient who speaks a non-native language, there is a strong possibility that a significant amount of time is wasted trying to obtain information vital for effective treatment. Poor translation can lead to misdiagnosis and incorrect treatment. A Phrazer unit can hold over 300 languages at any one time and, after it identifies the patient's native tongue, gathers the necessary background information using pre-recorded videos of doctors speaking in the patient's own language.



Specifications

The 12.6 x 5.35 x 0.6-inch (322 x 136 x 17.2 mm) handheld device has a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen display, where the patient can interact with the onscreen activity to help practitioners quickly gather vital information. Audio is fed into the system's 64Gb, 128GB or 256GB of onboard storage (with an additional 8GB of NAND Flash) via a 128kHz microphone and is powered by a DM3730 1GHz processor supported by 4GB of LPDRAM memory.

It has batteries which according to the manufacturer offer 22 hours of use between charges, but it can also use a couple of hot-swappable external batteries which could extend that operation indefinitely.The price of this Phrazor is between US$12,000 and US$18,000.

High Tech Cars

1) Peugeot SR1Concept

A stunning car which has power to the rear wheels comes from a 1.6-liter turbo diesel and an electric motor.




With a combined 313 horsepower and a remarkable (and alleged) 57 mpg European efficiency rating, the car is a perfect combination of elegance and responsibility. Despite the coupe proportions, this car has the back seat which is almost as cool as the front seats and a fully removable plastic roof.

2) Ferrari Hy-KERS Hybrid Concept

Hy-KERS Hybrid Concept uses tech more similar to what you'd find in a Prius. But that's just fine, because despite bearing the "Hybrid" badge, the Ferrari retains the full girth of its V-12 power plant.




The electric motor, which, like all big half-hybrids these days, is sandwiched between the engine and transmission, adds 107 horsepower to the party. That's a serious punch in the arm, to be sure, and while it will most certainly help the car scoot around your favorite track, it also does plenty to curb that thirsty V-12's appetite for fossil fuel.

3) Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera

The car made its debut in 2007, and since then a whole new tide of contenders has risen to knock the raging bull from its superlight throne.





Enter the 2011 Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera. At 154 lbs lighter than the standard Gallardo, the car already promises to be a rocket, but to add to the fire, Lamborghini swapped the old engine for a new direct-injection 5.2-liter V10 with 570 horsepower. Lighter and more powerful? We'll take it.
