mHealth means, obtaining and processing the medical information
through mobile devices-phones,tabs..
From self-treatment apps on phones , through texting reminders for the immunization schedule
of newborn babies, up to testing yourself for STDs with a smartphone kit, or your doctor panning
and zooming radiology scans on the go.
Let's see what applications and gizmos are out there for disease prevention, self-diagnosis
and treatment via your smartphone or tablet?
Sanofi's glucose meter Nanosensor tattoo for bloodless glucose metering
docks into an iPhone.
The nanosensor "tattoo" developed by an university team will allow to simply snap a picture of fluorescing nanoparticles planted in your skin with an iPhone inserted in a special case, and the handset will spit out the results.
Technology that turns low-cost mobile phones into sophisticated stethoscopes could save thousands of lives in poor countries.
MIT's Netra eye assessment tool. Digital stethoscope(ThinkLabs ds32a)comes with its own iPhone app.
You will also be able to prescribe your own glasses via MIT's low key Netra (Near-Eye Tool for Refractive Assessment) contraption, that hooks a plastic lens to your phone, and then runs red and green lines on the screen, which you have to align with the arrow keys and voila, here comes your prescription.
The valuable ECG measurements can also be collected on the go, via this cool iPhone contraption in the form of a case that you can see on the left.
An Android app is also on the way, and the tool allows for the smartphone to track, record and analyze your heart's rhythm info.

Technology that turns low-cost mobile phones into sophisticated stethoscopes could save thousands of lives in poor countries.
The kit, developed by Oxford University and South African researchers, enables people to record and analyse their own heart sounds using a mobile phone microphone. Patients then send the recordings to medics who can remotely monitor their condition.
"The ability to get an ECG on a Smartphone is remarkably transformative—
an icon of how medicine of the future will be radically rebooted".
