    In this critical review, we provide a comprehensive overview of immunochemical food allergen assays and detectors in the context of their user-friendliness, through their connection to smartphones. Smartphone-based analysis is centered around citizen science, putting analysis into the hands of the consumer. Food allergies represent a significant worldwide health concern and consumers should be able to analyze their foods, whenever and wherever they are, for allergen presence. Owing to the need for a scientific background, traditional laboratory-based detection methods are generally unsuitable for the consumer. Therefore, it is important to develop simple, safe, and rapid assays that can be linked with smartphones as detectors to improve user accessibility. Smartphones make excellent detection systems because of their cameras, embedded flash functions, portability, connectivity, and affordability. Therefore, this review has summarized traditional laboratory-based methods for food allergen detection such as enzyme-linked-immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and surface plasmon resonance, and the potential to modernize these methods by interfacing them with a smartphone readout system, based on the aforementioned smartphone characteristics. This is the first review focusing on smartphone-based food-allergen detection methods designed with the intention of being consumer-friendly. [Figure not available: see fulltext.

    An intelligent healthcare system with peer-to-peer learning and data assessment

    Modern e-healthcare systems are prevalent in many medical institutions to reduce physicians&#039; workload and enhance diagnostic accuracy, which leverages affordable wearable devices and Machine-Learning (ML) techniques. The healthcare systems collect various vital biosignals (e.g., heart rate and blood pressure) from wearable devices of users (e.g., chronic patients living alone at home) and analyze these patients&#039; data in real-time by different ML classifiers (e.g. Support Vector Machine (SVM) or Hidden Markov Model (HMM)). The automatic diagnosis effectively improves the physicians&#039; performance in terms of diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. There are three challenges impacting these healthcare systems -- the increasing number of patients, new diseases and the changes of existing disease patterns, which are caused by population aging as well as the alteration of environment and lifestyle. This research is intended to explore a novel healthcare system with advanced ML solutions that can solve the challenges and exhibit high accuracy and efficiency
