"If you are considering potential applications in this field, this book may be of value to you. ... This text could be a useful introduction to the field of point-of-care technologies for the student or professional considering development of globally useful, inexpensive diagnostic technologies for the betterment of health care worldwide. While the primary base device for much of this text (and development) is the smartphone, the text is generic enough in approach that other areas of endeavor could be attempted."
-Paul H. King, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, USA, from IEEE Pulse, March 2016

"... provides a sound background in mobile technology and sensor fundamentals, along with a number of cutting-edge technologies. It makes good sense for those working in healthcare technology to gain knowledge in the area of mobile point-of-care devices, and this book is an excellent reference in this regard."
-Tobey Clark, Director of Instrumentation and Technical Services, University of Vermont, Burlington, USA, from Biomedical Instrumentation and Technology, July/August 2015
