DOI: 10.1002/elps.201800295 The cover picture shows the proposed smartphone which is not only a mobile phone but also a medical device‐glucometer. An electrometer module, acquiring the electrochemical current from the disposable enzymatic test strip on which a 0.5 μL human peripheral whole blood drop is placed, was integrated in the smartphone. The medical smartphone is capable of directly measuring blood glucose concentration and uploading the data into a personal health center by the 4G mobile communication internet.
