Abstract
Due to significant developments in medical science and technology, medicine, and growing public awareness of personal, environmental, and dietary cleanliness as well as education and nutrition, life expectancy has significantly increased over the past few decades. As a result, it is projected that many countries' elderly populations will increase rapidly in the next years. It is projected that the costs associated with an aging population's health and well-being will negatively affect the socioeconomic systems of many nations. Furthermore, diseases that affect the skin, eyes, heart, mind, and respiratory system are prevalent globally. Ongoing observation, however, can prevent and/or effectively treat most of these disorders. This chapter will address the effectiveness of mobile devices now have more sophisticated sensors that we can utilize to quickly and readily identify illness.
