The newest entry in field is the <a href="https://www.cellscope.com/">Cellscope Oto</a>, a clip-on gadget that turns a smartphone into an otoscope, the tool that doctors use to peer into an ear and check out a patient’s eardrum.</p><p>Cellscope has just begun selling a pro tool for doctors, but the more interesting development is a consumer version that parents will soon be able to keep in their medicine cabinets, next to their thermometers.</p><p>The company just began pre-sales for its at-home version in California, and will roll out the campaign in other states in 2015. The gadget works only with iPhones right now, but the company is working on a version that will work with all smartphones.</p><p><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/biomedical/devices/diagnosing-ear-infections-with-a-new-smartphone-gadget-">Read more</a></p><p><img src="/uploads/54ad19735dcd3.jpg" unselectable="on"></p><h4><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/biomedical/bionics/quantum-dots-enable-3d-printing-of-contacts-lens-with-leds">Quantum Dots Enable 3-D Printing of Contacts Lens With LEDs</a></h4><p>By Dexter Johnson Posted 11 Dec 2014, 19:00 GMT</p><p><img src="/uploads/54ad1718895fd.jpg" unselectable="on"></p><p>While the research may have only aimed to demonstrate what is possible for 3D printing of electronic devices, researchers at Princeton University have <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/main/news/archive/S41/81/41S44/index.xml?section=topstories">used 3D printing to create an entire contact lens</a> with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) embedded into it.</p><p>For the contact lens to actually work, it would require an external energy source, making it impractical as a real-world device. However, the real point for the Princeton team was to show that it’s possible to produce electronic devices into complex shapes using equally complex materials.</p><p>"This shows that we can use 3D printing to create complex electronics including semiconductors," said Michael McAlpine, an assistant professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, in a press release. "We were able to 3D print an entire device, in this case an LED."</p><p><a href="http://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/biomedical/bionics/quantum-dots-enable-3d-printing-of-contacts-lens-with-leds">Read more</a></p><p><img src="/uploads/54ad198cb3e7b.jpg" unselectable="on"></p>
