The Lumify device is also for licensed doctors only:

I just wish the Chinese ebay/aliexpress models had 3D and/or doppler at a lower price... about a year and a half ago I got this quote from sonostar:
"
"
CBox-5 color doppler box, price for you can be $5500(with one convex probe).
extra linear probe: $700
extra transvaginal probe: $700
extra micro-convex probe: $700
3D function: $400
"
"
but that is pretty far outside the price range for toys/emergency equipment (I go backpacking, travel internationally, have friends with large farm animals that get hurt/pregnant).
Thinking of the pros of the Lumify device/app, if they allowed for purchase by non-physicians and included remote medical diagnosis (remote data analysis), and dropped the subscription to $100 for 2 weeks... then it could be a bargain for someone in an emergency (as long as the subscription didn't have to be continuous).

With brand new ultrasound machines going for about $4,000, the Lumify business model (subscription at $200 per month) seems a little predatory. In less than 2 years, the traditional machine is cheaper. Or you can buy this one on eBay for $1,149 and win after only 6 Lumify subscription months.On Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 4:09 AM, bythelake23 <bythelake23.running@gmail.com> wrote:Hi DIYBio,--While I have been following the group conversations eagerly, this will be my first post... here goes!I am a physician-in-training with a strong interest in global health and frugal innovation/reverse innovation. I want to try to start a discussion to gather ideas re low-cost/DIY ideas around clinical lab testing. For instance, this digital microscope can help visualise cells. Other such ideas around being able to do either labs or imaging (eh via this tiny U/S device) are what interest me the most. Can more experienced DIYers help me start collating a list of potentially useful technologies and kits/instructions?Cheers!
