The use of smartphones for mobile sensing is really starting to take off. One group in EPFL uses an

Software on the phone can automatically detect if there may be a problem and alert the doctors. It's
an ECG version of the kind of technology we're developing for iStethoscope. CNN asked me
to comment on the work; you can read about it here:
