Fun, but at best this article and the linked blog are missing critical details. Other organizations (e.g. http://ianxen.com/ http://ianxen.com/) have been working on similar technology involving optics, image processing and a blood sample -- and the associated consumables. Even assuming the tech is sorted the more interesting questions involve how, from a health systems perspective, these things can be deployed in rural health centers at a scale that matters. Some hard training/security/procedure/money questions to figure out, and I haven't heard much about these issues yet. Unclear if it's because the technology isn't ready for prime time or other reasons.
