Feasibility of Long-term Monitoring of Everyday Health Through Smartphones

Primary healthcare suffers from the single feature, single point-in-time syndrome. Physicians need \emph{long-term} data along multiple aspects of a patient's everyday health before, during and after treatment to best determine how the patient is doing.
