A deployable platform mounted on the mobile communication device, receives touch input from a user's finger. At least one sensor mounted on the deployable platform is used to sense one or more properties associated with the touch input. Diagnostic information associated with the one or more touch input properties is collected and a notification describing the diagnostic information is provided using the mobile communication device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for sensing and collecting diagnostic information of a user of a mobile device, the method comprising: receiving a touch input on one or more sensors of a deployable sensor platform integrated with the mobile device, the deployable sensor platform being configurable to move from a recessed position in which the one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which the user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling the touch input on the one or more sensors; sensing one or more vital signs of the user from sensor data obtained by the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform responsive to the touch input; analyzing the sensor data as diagnostic information to determine one or more fitness properties of the user; and providing a notification to report the diagnostic information as the one or more fitness properties of the user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform includes at least one of an optical sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, or a blood oxygen sensor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the deployable sensor platform is one of integrated into a housing of the mobile device, or integrated into a modular component that attaches to the mobile device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the deployable sensor platform is rotatable from the recessed position to the exposed position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform are configured to obtain the sensor data in the exposed position of the deployable sensor platform. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the user can place respective sides of the two fingers against the one or more sensors in the exposed position of the deployable sensor platform. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform includes multiple sensors comprising a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a blood oxygen sensor. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method as recited in claim 1, wherein the deployable sensor platform comprises a modular attachment that is configured to attach to the mobile device. ### Claim 9 A mobile device comprising: a deployable sensor platform integrated with the mobile device, the deployable sensor platform configurable to move from a recessed position in which one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which a user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling a touch input on the one or more sensors; a controller implemented at least partially in computer hardware to: receive sensor data associated with one or more vital signs of the user from the one or more sensors on the deployable sensor platform configured in the exposed position; analyze the sensor data to determine one or more fitness properties of the user; and initiate a notification to report the one or more fitness properties. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The mobile device as recited in claim 9, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform are optical sensors. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The mobile device as recited in claim 10, wherein the one or more optical sensors comprises at least one of a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, or a blood oxygen sensor. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The mobile device as recited in claim 9, wherein the deployable sensor platform is one of integrated into a housing of the mobile device, or integrated into a modular component that attaches to the mobile device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The mobile device as recited in claim 9, wherein the user can place respective sides of the two fingers against the one or more sensors in the exposed position of the deployable sensor platform. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The mobile device as recited in claim 9, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform includes multiple sensors comprising a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a blood oxygen sensor. ### Claim 15 A mobile device comprising: a modular attachment configured to attach to the mobile device, the modular attachment including a deployable sensor platform configurable to move from a recessed position within the modular attachment in which one or more sensors are stowed preventing contact with the one or more sensors to an exposed position in which the user can place the deployable sensor platform between two fingers enabling a touch input on the one or more sensors; a controller implemented at least partially in computer hardware to: receive sensor data associated with one or more vital signs of the user from the one or more sensors on the deployable sensor platform configured in the exposed position in which the one or more sensors are exposed enabling the touch input; analyze the sensor data to determine one or more fitness properties of the user; and initiate a notification to report the one or more fitness properties. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The mobile device as recited in claim 15, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform includes at least one of an optical sensor, a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, or a blood oxygen sensor. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The mobile device as recited in claim 15, wherein the deployable sensor platform is rotatable from the recessed position to the exposed position. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The mobile device as recited in claim 15, wherein the controller is implemented to receive the sensor data from the one or more sensors on the deployable sensor platform rotated to the exposed position of the deployable sensor platform. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The mobile device as recited in claim 15, wherein the user can place respective sides of the two fingers against the one or more sensors in the exposed position of the deployable sensor platform. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The mobile device as recited in claim 15, wherein the one or more sensors of the deployable sensor platform includes multiple sensors comprising a blood pressure sensor, a temperature sensor, a heart rate sensor, and a blood oxygen sensor.
