Abstract

In this chapter, mhealth solutions for remote monitoring of ex vivo biosignatures is initially discussed in lieu of instrumentation. A summary of versatile sensor technologies that incorporate numerous features and the recommended methods for the critical steps of data acquisition in real-world settings is presented. The technology advancement herein refers to the design enhancement of sensors per se as well as improving the software from different aspects including noise filtering, feature extraction and classification of ex vivo biosignatures. It has been noted that the broad sphere of sensor technologies empowers the technology developers with various modes of data acquisition using sensors, for example, embedded in smartphones or clothing. The majority of studies were carried out in laboratory settings; however, there are recommendations for the development of robust sensor platforms that can integrate into long-term real-world applications. Finally, the growing body of research on the usability and clinical efficacy of mhealth interventions for a wide range of health disorders are reviewed. This affirms the potential of mhealth in enhancing the value proposition of healthcare through a range of remote healthcare options from people seeking health information to assisting with diagnosis, managing health risks and treatment.
