Excerpt

Smartphones are ubiquitous devices, and over 100,000 digital applications (apps) have already been developed for health and medicine [1]. Most apps have been designed for patients to prevent cardiovascular diseases by promoting weight loss, physical activity and smoking cessation and to improve treatment adherence. Several studies have reported short-term benefits [1]. Interestingly, smartphones can also be used to monitor and record physiologic information, either as stand-alone devices or when connected to specific sensors. In this short narrative review, we focus on medical-grade tools and applications that may have value in acute care situations. …
