The future of mobile healthcare apps is already here, and it readily conjures images of “Star Trek” and Dr. “Bones” McCoy’s medical tricorder. Take for example, a new app system developed by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital that detects cancer. The palm-size nuclear magnetic resonance device, which mimics the gigantic MRI machine, sits on a patient’s bedside table. The tiniest of samples from the smallest of needles can instantly be tested and the results calculated by an app on the doctor’s smartphone. In many cases, the system will eliminate the need for surgical biopsies.
