There have been many emerging technologies recently, including those built in mobile handsets for measuring human biological metrics. As an example, a health app which can monitor people's glucose levels without breaking the skin has been developed recently. The so-called Epic app can help people find out if they develop diabetes and need to make lifestyle changes to avoid it. The app can also tell people about their respiration and blood oxygen saturation. SMBG (self-monitored blood glucose) is recommended for all people with diabetes [47, 48]. To alleviate the intrusiveness of the sensors, there is a great appetite among researchers to design contactless sensors. Some of these sensors are introduced in other chapters of this book.
