(Xi\u2019an Kingtone Information), in collaboration with China Children and Teenagers\u2019 Fund, announced the launch of the Mobile Vision Project. The project utilizes a 3G-enabled mobile application developed by Xi\u2019an Kingtone Information, smartphones powered by Qualcomm (QCOM) chipsets and 3G wireless connectivity to assist doctors in collecting and archiving information related to the screening and treatment of children with amblyopia in underserved communities in China.<\/p>\n<p>According to the National Eye Institute at the United States National Institutes of Health, amblyopia, also referred to as \u201clazy eye,\u201d is the most common cause of vision impairment in childhood. If detected early, amblyopia is treatable; however, if not, it can cause lifelong disability. In China, a key reason for lack of treatment is that clinicians in rural areas often lack the knowledge on how to properly diagnose and care for children with this disease. Additionally, financial hardship prevents many children in remote areas from traveling to urban areas for therapy, where even there challenges in diagnosis and care also are encountered.<\/p>\n<p>Wireless Reach, Xi\u2019an Kingtone Information and China Children and Teenagers\u2019 Fund collaborated to implement the Mobile Vision Project to address these challenges. The project, which is being implemented at Hengshui City Maternal and Child Care Service Center (MCCSC) and other public health centers in Hebei Province, utilizes a custom mobile application that enables data collection and analysis, as well as helps with patient screening and diagnosis, to provide more accurate statistics and, therefore, better patient care. The new system also gives clinicians access to a searchable online ophthalmology database for a comprehensive collection of eye care information. Hengshui Women\u2019s Federation and China Children and Teenagers\u2019 Fund provided support for the project through their specialized institution focusing on children with amblyopia. The Mobile Vision project serves approximately 400,000 children and teenagers up to the age of 14.<\/p>\n<p><!--Ad Injection mfunc mode ad code--><!--mfunc adshow_display_ad_file_v2(array('ad_random_1.txt'), array(100), array('align' => 'float right', 'clear' => '', 'margin_top' => '', 'margin_bottom' => '', 'padding_top' => '', 'padding_bottom' => ''), array(), array()) --><\/p>\n<div style=\"float:right;margin-left:5px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"ca-pub-1408583772585547\";\n\/* SMW - in News 300 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"5684630733\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 300;\ngoogle_ad_height = 250;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><!--\/mfunc--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the focuses of the China Children and Teenagers\u2019 Fund is on children with amblyopia, especially those in underserved areas,\u201d said Xiaoxia Chen, general secretary of the China Children and Teenagers\u2019 Fund. \u201cWireless technology and applications enable the rapid spread of knowledge about amblyopia and other common eye diseases, which can improve local clinicians\u2019 capabilities of screening and treatment, and provide better, more timely care to children with this condition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eye care professionals in towns and villages received 3G-enabled smartphones, laptop computers, PCs and mobile broadband connectivity via China Telecom\u2019s 3G EV-DO network. With these tools and technologies, doctors can access the system anytime and anywhere via a web portal or mobile application in order to do basic reporting and submit information to county-level MCCSCs. In addition, county health workers can electronically review patients\u2019 health records for screening and then refer children needing further treatment to city-level public health centers. City-level health workers also can access the system to obtain directions on how to treat and cure patients.<\/p>\n<p>The Mobile Vision Project began in October 2011. Today, 50 township-level clinics regularly use the system in their daily medical practice and an additional 71 clinics are registered to roll out the system in the coming months. Of the 1,144 eye exams collected to date, 684 resulted in a diagnosis of amblyopia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are honored to work with Qualcomm on this project to show how wireless technologies can have significant positive impact in health care,\u201d said Tao Li, president of Xi\u2019an Kingtone Information. \u201cEarly results indicate that the 3G-enabled system assists in better collection and analysis of patients\u2019 health information, improves efficiency and timeliness in data exchange between health workers and improves data collection, screening and treatment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince 2006, Qualcomm has been committed to demonstrating the use of advanced wireless technology to improve health care, education and entrepreneurship in China,\u201d said Xiang Wang, senior vice president and president of Qualcomm (QCOM) Greater China. \u201cThe Mobile Vision Project builds on the knowledge we have gained over the years to help improve patient care in rural communities and is a powerful example of how through collaboration, we can create projects that make a difference in people\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More Posts by this author<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/gold-and-silver-prices-fall-sharply\/24742\"><br \/>\nGold and Silver Prices Fall Sharply<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-headed-for-a-lower-finish-27\/24738\"><br \/>\nStocks Headed for a Lower Finish<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/market-updates\/stocks-lower-on-china-euro-zone-worries\/24735\"><br \/>\nStocks Lower on China, Euro Zone Worries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/genesee-wyoming-gwr-traffic-for-march-2012-and-the-first-quarter-of-2012\/24724\"><br \/>\nGenesee &amp; Wyoming &#8211; GWR &#8211; Traffic for March 2012 and the First Quarter of 2012<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/meridian-bioscience-vivo-awarded-new-agreement-with-premier-healthcare-alliance\/24723\"><br \/>\nMeridian Bioscience &#8211; VIVO &#8211;  Awarded New Agreement with Premier Healthcare Alliance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/recent-events\/business-news\/brightpoint-cell-launch-of-waha-the-first-e-commerce-website-dedicated-exclusively-to-windows-phones-in-uae\/24722\"><br \/>\nBrightpoint &#8211; CELL &#8211; Launch of Waha, the first e-commerce website dedicated exclusively to Windows Phones in UAE<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/hot-stocks-to-watch\/cherokee-chke-fiscal-2012-represented-a-year-of-accomplishment\/24721\"><br \/>\nCherokee &#8211; CHKE &#8211; Fiscal 2012 represented a year of accomplishment<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr>\n<table style=\"border:none;margin:0;\">\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www2.thestockmarketwatch.com\/stock-market-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/5.jpg\" alt=\"edliston\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" class=\"photo\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:5px;vertical-align:top;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><b>Post Written By: Ed Liston <\/b><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size:10pt;\">\n<p>Ed Liston is a senior contributing editor at TheStockMarketWatch.com.
