MobileDiagnosis®
The use of m-phones
without any adapter or additional device, to take and send images from a microscope
for distant advise and/or educational purposes
that we define MobileDiagnosis®
can significantly increase training opportunities and diagnostics’ quality while
lowering costs
How it all started

2008 : a migrant from Africa changed my life and

To be a medical doctor in Lampedusa Island

for the urgent need to confirm a diagnosis of malaria from a blood sample of an
African immigrant, I took a picture of the microscopic field using the camera
incorporated in my cheap mobile-phone, and sent it via MMS for tele-diagnostic
purposes to a reference center.
Lampedusa Island 2008
The first Action. The Humanitarian Emergence

After the “Lampedusa experience”
we showed that m-phones can be easily used without any adaptor
to take images from the microscope and send them for remote
reference.

Microscopy
Based evidence medicine
The telemedicine of the poors
From the emergence to the daily work, from the
telepathology to the education
Thus it was born a new way to share data, images.
a new way to communicate
With a thousands of possible applications
The Telemedicine for the poor, an easy, affordable, “frugal” telemedicine.
The Images transmission

Education
The visual communication : the new method for communicating based on images.
227 students trained in 6 countries in 10 courses.
The creation of a permanent school in DRC.

Visual communication, logic, didactic tables, use of m-phone as didactic tool:
Learning have been never so easy and amazing !
Thanks to the observation of easily and quickly learning by illiterate subjects
and by vulnerable women living in isolated and difficult contexts
we started to study the psychological relationships
between m-phone use in learning mechanisms
This educative method is based on
1 )Interactive-creative approach to the students.
2 )Interactive-creative lessons, by didactic tables based
on logic, and algorithms
3) On the job lessons and use of mobile as didactic tool
