Smartphone Applications for Providing Ubiquitous Healthcare Over Cloud with the Advent of Embeddable Implants

The world we live in today has been defined by the rise of the smartphone and smartphone apps. There is a huge potential for these apps to have an impact in healthcare via the use of the emerging field of biosensor technology in the form of wearables and implants. This paper discusses the future of healthcare from a technological standpoint, looking specifically at the use of these wearables and implants in conjunction with the power of cloud computing to provision healthcare in efficient and effective ways. There is also a discussion involving a specific example of how an app currently in development can be augmented with biosensor technology in the near future.
