In recent years, smartphones have developed tumultuously; in fact, they have increasingly taken on the role of portable and compact personal computers equipped with a range of sensors and applications capable of monitoring, for example, physical activity, heartbeat and sleep.

In this work, after briefly summarizing these new approaches, we will consider the application of smartphones to the diagnostics of Cultural Heritage.
