I want someone who has no formal medical training to use this device and to have it agree with a pediatrician 80 percent of the time."

Finette, 58, is a professor of pediatrics, microbiology and molecular genetics at the University of Vermont College of Medicine and director of the Global Health and Humanitarian Opportunity Program.

Heath, 64, is a professor of pediatrics, and chief of inpatient and critical care pediatrics at The University of Vermont Children's Hospital.

The two have known each other for 26 years, crossing paths as young pediatricians and then as co-workers at the University of Vermont Medical center.

About seven years ago Finette decided on a major diversion from his work at UVM Medical center as a researcher and in the emergency room critical care unit for children."

"Finette got a diploma from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and another diploma in international humanitarian assistance from Fordham University in New york and the United nations in a program called the Center for International Humanitarian Cooperation."

"So I got some educational background in these areas, "Finette said. After that, Finette went to work,
