Abstract

This paper presents a study of the five best selling Smart Phones in terms of their applicability to Wireless Health. Smart Phones are generally used as central controlling units in Wireless Health applications. We carried out our investigation by implementing a wireless health application that performs sensor communication, data processing, and data visualization. Our overarching goal is to develop a plug-and-play Wireless Health software platform. Our task begins with an in depth study of Smart Phones: the central controller of Wireless health applications.
