title = "Supporting LIFE: Mobile health application for classifying, treating and monitoring disease outbreaks of sick children in developing countries",
abstract = "This paper presents the Supporting LIFE (Low cost Intervention For disEase control) project. Supporting LIFE applies a novel combination of Android based smartphone technology, patient vital sign sensors and expert decision support systems to assist Community Health Workers in resource-poor settings in their assessment, classification and treatment of seriously ill children, more specifically children from 2 months to 5 years of age.
