If you’ve been following the news around the HP Elite x3 over the last few months, you may be aware that this phone is not your average flagship phone. While many Windows 10 Mobile enthusiasts may consider it as 2016’s unnofficial Surface Phone, HP already made it clear that its first “3-in-1″phone would be mostly targeted at business users, even though the company is also thinking about other use cases in other industries including healthcare.
In the latest issue of its Innovation Journal, the company explains that the premium Windows 10 Mobile handset could well help democratizing medicine by transforming into a mobile diagnostic lab that could analyze samples based on body fluids such as blood and saliva. “Today’s Imprecision Medicine wastes billions of dollars on inappropriate, error prone and ineffective drug administration and treatment,” explains the company who also claims that it already has all the technology necessary to make healthcare diagnostics accessible to more people. “At HP we have the privilege of legacy and leadership in the technology arenas which are needed so urgently in the healthcare industry: microfluidics, measurement, commercial mobility, and computing,” added HP.
