In most of the developed world, getting an X-ray is as simple as driving to the local clinic. But for millions of people globally, a lack of nearby hospital infrastructure means going completely without essential diagnostic imaging—a gap that can literally cost lives.
At Turner MedTech, we believe that life-saving medical technology shouldn’t be confined to a hospital room.
In this brief video, Charles Jensen, VP and General Manager of Turner MedTech, shares how our team in Orem, Utah, is partnering with our sister company, Turner Imaging Systems, to manufacture a game-changing solution to global healthcare disparity: The Smart C.
Watch the video above to see how cutting-edge contract manufacturing is making an impact on humanitarian missions worldwide.
Imaging Without Borders: The Impact of the Smart C
The Smart C isn’t just an X-ray machine; it’s a mobile diagnostic powerhouse designed to travel anywhere a physician can go. Here is how this Utah-built technology is changing the face of global medicine:
- True Portability: Completely wireless, lightweight, and battery-operated, it thrives in remote environments lacking stable power grids.
- Humanitarian Reach: Doctors are actively taking the Smart C on missions to Africa and other underserved regions to perform complex, life-altering leg reconstruction surgeries.
- Real-Time Insights: Operating at 10 frames per second, the system captures live X-ray video. This allows surgeons to evaluate critical damage to soft tissue in real time, not just broken bones.
“When you can do something that is making healthcare better for not only patients here in Utah, but throughout the world, that makes it exciting for us to come to work every day.” — Charles Jensen, VP & GM, Turner MedTech
