Smartphone-based optical spectroscopic platforms for biomedical applications: a review [Invited]

Year: 2021

Type: review

Abstract: Rapid advancements in smartphone technology have enabled the integration of many optical detection techniques that leverage the embedded functional components and software platform of these sophisticated devices. Over the past few years, several research groups have developed high-resolution smartphone-based optical spectroscopic platforms and demonstrated their usability in different biomedical applications. Such platforms provide unprecedented opportunity to develop point-of-care diagnostics systems, especially for resource-constrained environments. In this review, we discuss the development of smartphone systems for optical spectroscopy and highlight current challenges and potential solutions to improve the scope for their future adaptability.
