Abstract :
A cell phone can be used to transmit data for biological monitoring and diagnosis, in addition to its usual functions, without requiring modification. This paper discusses the benefits, obstacles, and methods of using cell phones to transmit biological waveforms to increase the mobility of patient monitoring and facilitate critical care before the patient even boards the ambulance.
