Popsci and Tech for Humanity Awards

Posted by thdblog | Posted in Design, Global Health, Innovation, Medical Devices, Mobile Phones | Posted on 19-11-2008

Two recent awards were given out in the area of technology for humanity. The first was a generic “best of 2008″ in technology PopSci award. It was great to see PopSci pick a technology for developing countries as one of their top products, the CellScope, which we covered in a post on mobile phones for global health (hat tip BOPreneur). Additionally there was the annual Tech Museum awards which you can read more about over at CNET (the Star Syringe was their health awardee).

    I *love* this invention. I have hopes that it will spawn a whole economy of mobile phone microscopy products. Thanks, Aman, for posting.
