This is beautiful. As a developer this is the kind of app I would like to work on, that has a direct good impact on people's life.<p>I know there are all kinds of lists on github.<p>Is there a list of companies that are inherently good (I know it's subjective) and are hiring developers?

A lot of such tech is just expensive .. because it is since ever and customer pay the price.
This is the kind of investment in technology I think Bill & Melinda Gates should be remembered by, as well as their investment in vaccines and contraception. Great stuff ( and well done to the inventor)
It has nothing to do with the phone or the software it's the device, which if you could get down to a hundred $ or so it could be used by farmers of livestock.<p>This could be a revolution, but the Ultrasound Scanners need to be in the hands of low income farmers then imagine how quickly the dam ecosystem would develop across to humans.<p>I've been looking to get a cheap one from China, but you can't, I'm not sure why, but perhaps it needs a certain chip that is not made cheaply yet. There are DIY's around but seem immature.<p>If you want to change the world, get the price down for use on animals.<p>This is a good first step, but while the medical community is in change it'll move at a snail pace which means a lot of people will die.
First time that I see that something can be connected to an IPhone. I wonder if you need special privileges from Apple, or there is an API available that can do some data (serial ?) transfer.
