the ‘motoworkr’ concept, by marco vanella

the ‘motoworkr’ handset, conceptualized by italian designer marco vanella, offers medical professionals easy handheld access to the tools they require on a daily basis.

to the average consumer, the advantage of a smartphone is that it agglomerates a number of common utilities onto a single, easily portable device.

adapting this concept to the specific and often urgent needs of doctors and other medical workers, ‘motoworkr’ integrates a bluetooth thermometer, stethoscope, and digital blood pressure reader into a cell phone. in addition to providing immediate access to this range of tools, the collection of such data directly into a web, card-reader, or database-enabled device could provide instant updating and transferring of patient health records.
