In this chapter, we introduce the state-of-the-art of medical oriented portable devices and smartphones that are capable of communicating with sensors and healthcare providers effectively. In this chapter, we propose a typical model for the infrastructure of smartphone-based mHealth service. This infrastructure includes hardware, software, wireless protocols, and collaborative applications. The current smartphone operating systems included in this chapter are: Android (Google), iOS (Apple), Symbian (Nokia), Windows Mobile (Microsoft), and QNX (BlackBerry). A dedicated section is provided on the amalgamation of wireless equipment with smartphone to provide specific mHealth service. Examples on such devices are the Glucophone which is an integrated cell phone-glucometer system and the Cellscope which takes a standard cell phone and transforms it into a compact, high-resolution, handheld microscope. The proposed infrastructure is efficient and cost effective.
