Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a new smartphone based system for health care, monitoring and diagnosis, which is specially designed to efficiently increase the public health care system in the distant, rural, unreached areas of the underdeveloped and developing countries. In this all-in-one system, we have digitized the health monitoring and diagnostic devices in a way so that each device works as a minimum `plug and play' sensor module of the total system, reducing the cost radically. Besides, the easy-to-use smartphone application for operating the whole system reduces the necessity of skilled and trained manpower, making it a perfect toolbox for the government health workers in the unreached rural areas.
