Current Advancements of the Smartphone - Based Point - Of - Carediagnosis
Journal Title: International Journal of Nano Studies & Technology (IJNST) - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The recent advancement in smartphone technology has triggered a wide range of smartphone point-of-care (POC) technology especially for the application of biomedical diagnosis and environmental detections. Modern smartphones with powerful processors and the functional cameras have been considered as the best candidate for miniaturization of the analytical instruments. Smartphones integrated with micro fluidic chips or optical components are capable of detecting specific biomarkers, antigens or pathogens in situ. The merits of smartphone-based POC devices, including cost efficiency, on-site detection, instantly obtaining diagnostic results, and transmittable data, make it grooming in medical and environmental diagnosis, especially in remote areas and at home. Therefore, smartphone-based POC technology could achieve decentralizing laboratory tests which fastens turnaround time and let doctors timely treat patients. In this review, we focus on paper-based and liquidbased smartphone POC devices of recent years to overviews current advancements.
