Nowadays, the market of healthcare is experiencing a rapid growth and is believed to be dramatically massive due to the upcoming global aging. The medical Internet of things (IoTs) is endowed with expectation to fulfill the rigid demand, which requires all kinds of digital medical devices linked and accessed to the Internet to acquire all the parameters related to the personalized health, such as medical images, biochemical and biophysical parameters. The acquisition and transmission of the tremendous amount of biomedical information required high bandwidth and fast speed. The next generation communication technology, 5G, is capable of providing the suitable information infrastructure for the emerging IoTs application. The ubiquitous smartphone is the best information transfer station and considered as the point of personalized medical data acquisition. In this paper, we presented a medical dongle powered by the smartphone as a miniaturized electrochemical analyzer for blood glucose and uric acid monitoring. The family doctor can access the related biomedical information of his patient and give the precise, personalized, and preventive healthcare consults. In addition, the accuracy and reliability of the proposed system were verified with good agreement as compared to the bulky biochemical analyzer in clinical use. In the emerging medical IoTs application, the proposed system is significantly promising solution since it united the biosensors, Internet communication, information processing, and family doctor together to provide the completed healthcare for each user.
