Why don't have a much more active/thriving medical hackers community?

The fundamentals of POCUS are good though. At my wife's hospital, disinfecting the CT suite after a Covid-19 patient is a real barrier to using it. POCUS doesn't have that problem. I think what needs to be done for POCUS is to make the diagnostic capability easier for non-radiology medical providers to use i.e. make the view more like a CT or MRI scan and less like looking through a straw. That's something the HN folks can very much help with.

I observed an interesting hack.
They have these "bladder" ultrasound machines to check if a patient's bladder is full and how much.
What was interesting was that as far as I can tell, they were regular ultrasounds, but the "subject" was shown on the display as a yellowish color.

This is huge, as treating C19 patients requires full change of PPE each time you go into the room in many settings.
