Measuring Tape for Children
The Mercy TAPE, which stands for “TAking the guesswork out of Pediatric weight Estimation,” is based on a technique called the Mercy Method that estimates weight based on the length and circumference of the upper arm. The Mercy TAPE, which looks like a tape measure, translates the measurements into a weight that is displayed directly on the device and requires only basic addition by the user.
Researchers from Children’s Mercy Hospitals and Clinics in Kansas City, MO, found that the tape, which estimates the weight of pediatric patients ages 2 months to 16 years, is more accurate than other methods currently ...

ScanMed Allows for Quick Medical Information Retrieval
Rocket Surgery Concepts has created a convenient way for first responders to retrieve vital medical and emergency information; it's all on the wrist.
ScanMed QR (Quick Response) allows customers to visit www.ScanMedQR.com and create a profile of all of their medical illnesses, medications, and allergies. After the profile is completed, customers order a silicone sports band ($24.99 per year), and each band is laser etched with the wearers' unique QR code (consists of the details on the profile).
When an emergency happens, first responders can scan the patient's QR code (by using an iPhone or Android smartpho...

AxoTrack Named One of 2012's Best Innovations
AxoTrack needle visualization technology was named one of the world’s best innovations for 2012 by Popular Science. The device, invented by emergency physician Stephen F. Ridley, MD, combines traditional ultrasound imaging with advanced magnetics.
While it was originally designed to improve the safety and accuracy of placing central venous catheters, the device is now used for a range of needle-guided procedures. Clinicians using the device are provided with real-time updates of needle position that can be visualized as the needle travels through the tissue to its intended target.
