Interesting! We have been looking at connecting sensors (of various kinds, including medical) to an Android phone via an Arduino board. There is an Open Data Kit (ODK) project specifically aimed at sensors: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/wrb/ODKSensorsMobiSys2012.pdf It would be great to have locally available, cheap sensors for simple medical tests like pulse, blood pressure, etc., as well as for other things like air, and water quality.
