Routine health screenings were also conducted. A novel remote web platform was developed to allow expert physicians to examine TES data and compare efficacy with routine health screenings.<h4>Setting</h4>The study was conducted at a primary care centre during the 2015 Kumbh Mela in Maharashtra, India.<h4>PartiBMJ opene018774https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5914894biostudies-literatureTechnology-enabled examinations of cardiac rhythm, optic nerve, oral health, tympanic membrane, gait and coordination evaluated jointly with routine health screenings: an observational study at the 2015 Kumbh Mela in India.PMC5914894Merchant RShah PYauney GPatalano Ii VSubramanian SVMohit MGupta OfalseTechnology-enabled examinations of cardiac rhythm, optic nerve, oral health, tympanic membrane, gait and coordination evaluated jointly with routine health screenings: an observational study at the 2015 Kumbh Mela in India.<h4>Objectives</h4>Technology-enabled non-invasive diagnostic screening (TES) using smartphones and other point-of-care medical devices was evaluated in conjunction with conventional routine health screenings for the primary care screening of patients.<h4>Design</h4>Dental conditions, cardiac ECG arrhythmias, tympanic membrane disorders, blood oxygenation levels, optic nerve disorders and neurological fitness were evaluated using FDA-approved advanced smartphone powered technologies.
