An Electrochemical Potentiostat Interface for Mobile Devices: Enabling Remote Medical Diagnostics

Abstract

An electrochemical potentiostat interface for mobile devices has been designed and implemented. The interface consists of a potentiostat module, a microcontroller module, and a Bluetooth module. The potentiostat module performs electrochemical measurements and detects the responses from the samples. The microcontroller module controls the test and communication processes. The Bluetooth module links the system to a mobile device, where the mobile device acts as a control-console, data storage system, communication unit, and graphical plotter for the overall diagnostic processes. This interface is suitable for point-of-care and remote diagnostics, enhancing the capabilities of mobile devices in telemedicine.
