Stetheadphone: an iPhone Headphone for Doctors

30 Jan

Antrepo, a design consultancy firm, has created a fabulous headphone for doctors that resembles a stethoscope. The Stetheadphone has all the features of the standard iPhone headphones, including making and receiving calls, voice-control, and listening to and managing music playback. There will be a wide range of colors available: white, black, pink, blue or green. It is currently still a concept, but the company is looking for a partner company for the production process.

There is a Hero in All of Us

30 Jan

ust admit it: deep in your heart you have always wanted to be an emergency medical technician, if at least for a few moments. If you are located in San Ramon Valley, California, you can now live that dream: the local fire department has released an iPhone app that will alert you of any emergency activity in the area. The well thought-out application will send out a push notification to users who have indicated that they are proficient in CPR whenever there is a cardiac emergency nearby. In addition, the closest public access AED is located by the app. Current response status of dispatched units are shown and incident locations are pinpointed on an interactive map. There is even a log of recent incidents including a photo gallery. For the old-school ham and scanner lads, it is possible to listen in on live emergency radio traffic. The app is available for free and below is a video with some more info.
