Mobosens: Mobile software platform for concentration measurements on a smartphone

The development of mobile computing in recent decade enables various innovative applications on smartphones. Mobile applications have advantages over laboratory solutions for quantitative measurements of chemical concentrations in water. First, the cost of a mobile device is more affordable than professional measuring equipment; second, a mobile device is very portable and convenient for performing measuring tasks at multiple locations. In addition, easy access to mobile geographical data on a smartphone potentially extends data extraction and aggregation of measurements to a global level. We describe MoboSens, a mobile software platform which aims at low-cost and portable concentration measurements for critical chemicals in both drinking water and the human circulatory system. The complete system of MoboSens contains a sensor circuit package and a smartphone application. Specifically, my efforts in this thesis focus on implementing the software interface designed for the circuit package and the cloud data engine for further data processing.
