摘要
We introduce an architecture for low-cost mobile Health (mHealth) applications that run on health-workers' existing devices. Moreover, we envision extending the phone's capabilities with an external to attach "sensor" modules, such as pulse oximeter, ECG and phonocardiogram. Our design principles are frugality and simplicity. We propose a comprehensive solution to aid health-workers in their daily tasks, at a low-cost and high penetration rate.
