  • Title: Smartphone-Based Device in Exotic Pet Medicine.
    Author: Huynh M.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Exot Anim Pract; 2019 Sep; 22(3):349-366. PubMed ID: 31395319.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the use of the smartphone in exotic pet medicine. The mobile app is the most instinctive use of the smartphone; however, there are very limited software dedicated to the exotic pet specifically. With an adapter, the smartphone can be attached to a regular endoscope and acts as a small endoscopic unit. Additional devices, such as infrared thermography or ultrasound, can be connected to the smartphone through the micro-USB port. The medical use of the smartphone is still in its infancy in veterinary medicine but can bring several solutions to the exotic pet practitioner and improve point-of-care evaluation.
