5 Ways Your Smartphone Is Now a Medical Device

It is no secret smartphones are transforming many aspects of medical care. The “medicalized smartphone” is becoming not only a convenient accessory in modern health care, but also a full-fledged diagnostic tool that can be easily used anywhere in the world.

The practical implications of using a smartphone device to diagnose many common health conditions are huge. Most phones’ technical specifications are now so advanced they can compete with technology found in the doctor’s office.

The idea of turning a smartphone into a point-of-care diagnostic tool has become a reality. It is saving money, speeding up the assessment process, making some procedures widely available—even in developing countries—and giving patients/users more control of their own care.
