A small handheld device that allows a doctor or perspective parent to check the developmental progress of an unborn child debuted at Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco on Tuesday.

As reported Pocketlint.com, the GE developed gadget is aimed at doctors, and possibly would be parents who could use it in their office or in the field to check the progress of unborn babies or other medical instances rather than send their patients to a specialist department for a scan.
