Screening of Medical Disorders using Low-Cost Methods.

<p>This table provides the target condition of an automated or digitized diagnostic tool which has been developed in previous studies. In many cases, the diagnosis of these conditions early in disease progression benefits patients significantly through timely interventions and targeted monitoring. However, for these conditions, many of which are common or growing increasingly so, the costs of screening large populations may overburden limited physician resources. The table aims to present proof of concepts for low-cost diagnosis and monitoring of disease through the collection of physical data from various sensors. Furthermore, the table provides the accuracies achieved in previous studies using these techniques and offers context in the form of minimum equipment lists required to implement these methods. Lastly, the table presents comparisons to the generally accepted diagnostic technique. The disorders covered here are classified into respiratory, blood, cardiovascular, eye, gastrointestinal, neurological, geriatrics, musculoskeletal, skin, mitochondrial, and obstetrics.</p> <p>(DOCX)</p>
