Abstract
Mobile technologies are increasingly utilized by today’s healthcare providers both in their personal and professional lives. In modern healthcare, mobile technologies have numerous applications that may revolutionize how doctors practice medicine. We report the use of a commercially available personal consumer electronics device (Apple’s IPhone 4 generation (Cupertino, CA)) which aided in the positioning and monitoring of a patient undergoing spine surgery in the prone position.
