    Abstract: A mobile-platform imaging device uses compression of the target region to generate an image of an object. A tactile sensor has an optical waveguide with a flexible, transparent first layer. Light is directed into the waveguide. Light is scattered out of the first layer when the first layer is deformed. The first layer is deformed by the tactile sensor being pressed against the object, A force sensor detects a force pressing the tactile sensor against the object and outputs corresponding force information. A first communication unit receives the force information from the force sensor. A receptacle holds a mobile device with a second communication unit and an imager that can generate image information using light scattered out of the first layer. The first communication unit communicates with the second communication unit and the mobile device communicates with an external network.

    Abstract: A method for quantifying the professional development of a subject includes storing, on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, a base professional development score for a subject, receiving a submission pertaining to a professional development activity of the subject, approving the submission based on at least one professional development criteria, assigning a value to the approved submission, adjusting the base professional development score according to the approved submission value, comparing the adjusted professional development score to a threshold value, and determining that the subject has achieved a professional development goal when the adjusted professional development score is greater than the threshold value. A system for quantifying the professional development, a system for network-assisted recruitment, and a system for network-assisted learning are also described.
