APPLE Medical

Hello I'm a longtime Apple user and Think it's time Apple got involved in developing medical technology , Imagine Apple creates a device/computer which can function as a laboratory with built in Ultra sound , biochemistry and haematology functions and imagine if this device is portable can be taken anywhere in the world and can help diagnose , eventually with DNA sequencing ability .i would love some feedback on this idea .

Others have directed you to the online feedback form. I'm going in a different direction...I think it would behoove you search the 'net and find companies that may offer items that interface with an Apple computer. Currently, Apple does not have the resources required to develop the products that you mentioned.

Possibly but , the way I see it is that apple could quite feasibly be pioneers in medical technology , apple have the right ppl to help create simple to use machines with a diverse array of functions the ultimate goal should be a portable comprehensive diagnostic machine which I believe is the direction of 21 st century medicine .

Apple's focus has always been on personal use computers - they certainly haven't given mainstream business the priority emphasis that Microsoft has. For them to develop highly specialized technology like this would be a radical departure from their business plan, one that even they (with their billions in cash) can not do easily. There are a number of companies that specialize in developing high end medical technology, and I suggest you pass your suggestions onto one of them.

Thanks for your reply but I still think Apple should do it themselves and I believe they are more than capable of doing it themselves what medical technology needs is innovation and apple is full of innovators . Also what apple needsis a radical departure to do something quite different and to benefit mankind , ppl in China sell their kidneys for iPads why not apple built dialysis machines .

They could do whatever they want... they could invest in a number of different technologies. But posting on this forum, which is a technical support forum for users with questions about how to use Apple devices that currently exist, won't do much good, as nobody here is in a postion to make any decisions for Apple or recommendations to them. If you have a direct connection to the senior executives or board members at Apple, you might want to suggest it to them, as they are the only ones who would have the ability to make such a major decision. Otherwise posting on this forum will do nothing to get Apple moving in the direction you want. And to be honest, ti is against the terms and conditions of this forum (which include not allowing speculation on future Apple products).


If you just want a general discussion on the direction you think Apple should take in the future, I suggest you visit the forums at macrumors.com or 9to5mac.com... but again, posting these questions there will not make any impact on Apple's future directions.
