Abstract

This chapter focuses on the screening for non-communicable diseases (NCDs), which in certain cases are likely caused by infectious diseases. The screening for NCDs in this specific case remains challenging since the convergence between both non-infectious and infectious diseases is less investigated. This chapter, therefore, aims at reviewing and addressing the challenges and limitation of the conventional methodologies for screening for diseases, in general. The chapter further proposes an innovative screening paradigm based on the internet of things technology. The chapter presents the state of the art on the conventional screening for diseases, discusses the fundamental difference between screening for diseases and diseases surveillance and monitoring, and the difference between screening for diseases and diseases diagnostics.
