Digitalization in toxicology using hand-held devices, mobile apps, and wearable devices. Wearable devices monitor and track fitness, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. Wearable biosensors are wearable devices that allow patients to collect data on their movement, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature and can reduce and prevent chances of cardiac and respiratory arrest, while hand-held devices can keep records of patients and their prescriptions, demonstrate help to patients by a personal digital assistant (PDA), keep track of patients’ health, and eliminate delay or error on patients’ end. Certain mobile apps can also help in tracking fitness, setting reminders for medications, offering self-diagnosis solutions, checking in on the mental health of the patients, and much more. These digital tools collect, analyze, and evaluate the data acquired to monitor toxicological effects.
