Smartphone doctor: self diagnosis with new apps
Technology advancements are opening up opportunities for health based apps on smartphones which could help you self diagnose an illness

Medical tricorders are no longer just science fiction.

New advances in sensor technology are harnessing the computing power we already have in our smartphones to create sophisticated devices the average person can use to diagnose themselves.

Armed with that data, people can learn more about their own physical condition and, perhaps even more useful, share that data with physicians remotely.
