Smartphones are becoming increasingly versatile thanks to the wide variety of sensor and actuator systems packed in them. Mobile devices today go well beyond their original purpose as communication devices, and this enables important new applications, ranging from augmented reality to the Internet of Things. Personalized diagnostics is one of the areas where mobile devices can have the greatest impact. Hitherto, the camera and communication abilities of these devices have been barely exploited for point of care (POC) purposes. This short review covers the recent evolution of mobile devices in the area of POC diagnostics and puts forward some ideas that may facilitate the development of more advanced applications and devices in the area of personalized diagnostics. With this purpose, the potential exploitation of wireless power and actuation of sensors and biosensors using near field communication (NFC), the use of the screen as a light source for actuation and spectroscopic analysis, using the haptic module to enhance mass transport in micro volumes, and the use of magnetic sensors are discussed.

This article presents a review of the most relevant manual techniques and technologies developed from the field of artificial vision aimed at identifying biomechanical alterations. The purpose is to describe the most important aspects of each technology, focused on the description of each of its stages and experimental results, which suggest the integration of mobile devices with artificial vision techniques, in addition to the different computer programs used for such end. Finally, the results showed that the identification of the crook index for alterations in posture turns out to be a technique currently used by most specialists. The great challenge is to develop portable devices through mobile applications that allow the detection of the corvo index and the barometric analysis, as well as for other types of applications that depend on visual analysis by experts.

New Applications

Today, technologies are providing mobile terminals with much more powerful computational abilities. Such improvement has made it possible to run many complex applications on mobile devices. However, many of these new applications are also resource demanding. Lacking sufficient resources would cause performance failures and impact negatively on the users’ quality of experience. In order to improve this, it is important to provide the users with an easy access to specifying their requirements. It is also crucial to monitor the system resources and make corresponding adaptation immediately according to the user’s specifications. In this paper, the authors propose adaptation strategies that flexibly combine the process of monitoring and adaptation, which provides an easy way to specify user’s requirements. By tuning the quality of service, the applications’ demand on system resources is reduced, thus decreasing the chances of performance failures and improving the users’ quality of experience.

Study Case

<p>Virtual archaeology is an interesting way to promote cultural heritage with touristic purposes. This paper proposes to apply virtual reality techniques on mobile devices in order to exploit the unique features provided by these devices: ubiquity and location-awareness. Firstly, we propose a client-server framework that provides realistic 3D maps on mobile devices according to the user’s location. Following, we describe a study case that applies this technology to implement a 3D touristic guide. This guide aims at promoting the territorial organization and defensive buildings during the low Middle Ages in the “Council of Baeza”, Spain. However, the proposed guide can be easily expanded to cover any geographic area and historic age.</p>

Historical Objects

Museum is a vehicle that has a strategic role in strengthening people's identity. One of the museums that exhibits historical relics is the State Museum of West Sumatra Province, known as the Adityarwan Museum. The Adityawarman Museum is the most important cultural museum in West Sumatra. The museum functions as a place to store and preserve historical objects, such as: Minangkabau cultural heritage, Mentawai cultural heritage and other archipelago cultural heritage. The use of smartphones, iPads, playbooks, tablet PCs and the like is more widely used today for various reasons and choices than PCs (Personal Computers) at home. In addition, there are many game features that are not only for entertainment, but there are already many games to hone thinking and logic that can educate children. Android is an operating system for Linux-based mobile devices which includes an operating system, middleware, and applications. Android provides an open platform for developers to create their applications. Android is the operating system that powers more than a billion smartphones and tablets
