最新一代的智能手机配备先进的多核处理器、专用图形微芯片、高分辨率摄像头和创新的操作系统，为运行复杂的医疗筛查软件和以极低的成本提供即时护理患者诊断服务提供了便携式平台。在本章中，我们提出了一个智能手机数字皮肤镜应用程序，可以分析皮肤病变的高分辨率图像，并为用户提供有关恶性肿瘤的可能性的反馈。同样的基本程序也适用于评估其他皮肤病变，如被称为布鲁里溃疡的食肉细菌病。当在iPhone上实现时，该应用程序实现的准确性和速度与台式电脑相当，证明智能手机应用程序可以将联合收割机便携性和低成本与高性能相结合。因此，基于智能手机的系统可被初级保健医生用作日常办公室访问期间的辅助设备，并且它们可以在医疗保健基础设施有限的服务不足地区和发展中国家产生重大影响。
Smartphones of the latest generation featuring advanced multicore processors, dedicated microchips for graphics, high-resolution cameras, and innovative operating systems provide a portable platform for running sophisticated medical screening software and delivering point-of-care patient diagnostic services at a very low cost. In this chapter, we present a smartphone digital dermoscopy application that can analyze high-resolution images of skin lesions and provide the user with feedback about the likelihood of malignancy. The same basic procedure has been adapted to evaluate other skin lesions, such as the flesh-eating bacterial disease known as Buruli ulcer. When implemented on the iPhone, the accuracy and speed achieved by this application are comparable to that of a desktop computer, demonstrating that smartphone applications can combine portability and low cost with high performance. Thus, smartphone-based systems can be used as assistive devices by primary care physicians during routine office visits, and they can have a significant impact in underserved areas and in developing countries, where health-care infrastructure is limited.
