Smartphone Based Medical Diagnostics

Smartphone Based Medical Diagnostics provides the theoretical background and practical applications for leveraging the strengths of smartphones toward a host of different diagnostics, including, but not limited to, optical sensing, electrochemical detection, integration with other devices, data processing, data sharing and storage. The book also explores the translational, regulatory and commercialization challenges of smartphone incorporation into point-of-care medical diagnostics and food safety settings.

• Presents the first comprehensive textbook on smartphone based medical diagnostics
• Includes a wide array of practical applications, including glucose monitoring, flow cytometry, rapid kit, microfluidic device, microscope attachment, and basic vital sign/activity monitoring
• Covers translational, regulatory and commercialization issues

Academics interested in sensors, biosensors, analytical chemistry, analytical biochemistry, biomedical imaging, and mobile health, including undergraduate students, graduate students, researchers, and faculty members at teaching and research universities and colleges; research scientists, engineers, and technicians at governmental research laboratories; governmental employees at regulatory agencies (e.g. US FDA, US CDC, etc.); professionals working on biosensors, diagnostic kits and devices, including research scientists, engineers, and marketing engineers in industry, especially start-up companies
