CAMACHO RAMIREZ, Osnier; QUIALA CUTINO, Wilker; PEREZ DIAZ, Marlen  and  TABOADA CRISPI, Alberto. Development of Healthcare Applications using Facilities available in modern Mobile Devices. EAC [online]. 2016, vol.37, n.3, pp.10-20. ISSN 1815-5928.

Mobile devices have proliferated at affordable prices nowadays. These devices provide high computational power and high-quality communication facilities, with near and remote users. In addition, most mobile devices include flexible sensors such as microphones, accelerometers and cameras, which are suitable for biomedical applications. Several students in the Biomedical Engineering Program, at our research center (Center for Studies on Electronics and Information Technologies, CEETI) have taken advantage of the mobile devices internal hardware capabilities to develop health care applications. These applications have been developed for Android-based devices. In this article two applications are presented, based on mobile platform, ECAH-M for speech analysis and i-Walker a pedometer.

Keywords : Mobile; Biomedical applications; Android; pedometer; speech analysis.
