Abstract

In this paper, we present a pilot project on mobile health (mHealth) which is designed to monitor on a continuous basis the health condition of individuals using a mobile device such as a smartphone or a tablet. The objectives of this pilot project include highly accurate calculation of heart-beat rate using either a smartphone camera or an autonomous, self-powered mini-device which communicates measurement data to the mobile device through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. In addition, we aim at detecting potentially dangerous skin conditions at an early stage using the smartphone camera and machine learning (ML) or deep learning (DL) algorithms. The trained algorithm will be able to detect malignant cases of skin conditions by searching through various built-in categories of commonly found skin disorders.
