Abstract

If you think your doctor is a mobile phone junkie now, you haven't seen anything yet. A profusion of new software applications, or apps, are either already here or coming soon to convert smart phones into biomedical devices that will play a larger role in healthcare. Engineers, computer programmers, medical professionals, and other researchers are jumping on the bandwagon to create apps and add-on devices, or peripherals, that turn a smart phone into a microscope, an ultrasound machine, or a heart-rate monitor, just to name a few.

摘要

如果你认为你的医生现在就是个手机迷，那你还没见识到真正的厉害之处呢。大量新的软件应用程序，即应用，要么已经出现，要么即将问世，它们会将智能手机转变为生物医疗设备，这些设备将在医疗保健领域发挥更大作用。工程师、计算机程序员、医学专业人员以及其他研究人员纷纷加入这一潮流，开发各种应用程序以及附加设备（即外围设备），这些程序和设备能把智能手机变成显微镜、超声波机器或者心率监测仪等等。
