NHS iPhone Device Checks For Throat-Cancer

In a move poised to transform cancer diagnostics, the NHS has announced it is piloting an innovative iPhone-based device to help detect or rule out throat cancer more swiftly. 

What Device? 

Developed by Endoscope-i Ltd, a West Midlands-based medical technology company, the device, called the endoscope-i adapter, connects over the iPhone’s rear camera lens, securely aligning the endoscope with the iPhone’s main camera for high-definition imaging. This setup allows the iPhone to capture high-definition images from any endoscope with a 32mm eyepiece.
