In Medgadget: From LifeWatch AG (Neuhausen am Rheinfall, Switzerland) An Android smartphone packed with medical sensors. Quite remarkable: " .... The tests include one-lead ECG, body temperature, blood glucose, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, body fat percentage and stress levels as expressed by heart rate variability. Each medical test is presented as an application and, in addition, there are diet applications and programmable reminders for medications. All collected data is automatically and securely saved to a remote server and can be retrieved from the cloud for follow-up anytime, anywhere. Results and historical data can be shared with doctors, family or others on the user’s request through e-mail or text message..... " .
Carry along sensors, which can construct a two way communication with the patient, and inform others in their medical 'circle', is quite a breakthrough. Though it is apparently not yet available.
