Symptomia App[13]

Sensors• Heart Rate [6] • Parkinson’s [8]

OsiriX App[2]

Post-stroke rehabilitation[11]

Users studied

• Doctors

!

• Patients

Research questions that were asked

• How can mobile devices help in medical environment? [1, 8, 12, 13]

• Is the device accurate to capture and measure health signals? [6, 7]

• Can iPad help in poststroke hand rehabilitation? [11]

• Does mobile devices help students in learning about medicine?[3, 10]

• How tablets changed doctors interaction with electronic health records?[2, 4, 5, 9]

Research methods that were applied

• Testing of devices and accessories, and comparison with traditional health monitoring methods

• Testing apps, devices and accessories use with users

• Interviews and questionaries

• Analysis of other studies

Main research results• Handheld devices will become an essential medical

tool. [4]

• Use of devices and technology improves the data visualization by patients and doctors.

• Devices are sufficiently accurate to be health monitors.

• Apps can bring knowledge to patients and students.

• Further studies are necessary

Results variation in studies

• All studies with similar theme results converged: Touch/mobile devices are very good as appliances to medical environment

• Handheld devices will become an essential medical tool [4]: Time gap of the study (2003)

• Security and privacy issues with patients data[2]
