A cost-effective smartphone-based device for ankle-brachial index (ABI) detection

A cost-effective smartphone-based device for rapid C-reaction protein (CRP) detection using magnetoelastic immunosensor

“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Mobile health based on smartphone apps is also gaining wide acceptance. [24][25][26][27] Thus, we developed a novel smartphone-based CRP detector based on magnetoelastic (ME) immunosensing. It can provide intelligent and real-time home-based monitoring for patients.…”

Letter: Low and Borderline Ankle–Brachial Index Is Associated With Intracranial Aneurysms: A Retrospective Cohort Study

“…7 Of particular concern is the scenario in underdeveloped countries, such as Brazil, where physicians may lack access to gold standard equipment, potentially affecting the accuracy of ABI measurements. 8 Given the uncertainty surrounding the reliability of ABI, especially in such contexts, we question the credibility of borderline ABI as a reliable indicator for categorizing the risk of intracranial aneurysms compared to normal ABI, particularly considering the marginal difference between the 2 categories-an aspect not thoroughly explored in the manuscript. 1 Another noteworthy consideration pertains to selection bias.…”
