Introduction In April 2013, Google released a beta version of the Google Glass for developers for $1500, termed the Explorer version. Glass is a wearable headset weighing 50 grams with a prismatic heads-up color display in the superior visual field of the right eye. It includes a built-in 5 megapixel camera with 1280 x 720 pixel HD video at 30 frames per second ambient light sensor, Wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a capacitive touchpad on the temple frame, 16GB of flash memory, and is powered by a 2.1 Watt-hour lithium polymer battery. Among the earliest adopters of this wearable technology were physicians, who quickly integrated this tool into medical and surgical practice. In health care, the application of the Glass has largely centered on the ability to access patientspecific medical records in a convenient manner. Reports of its use to display radiographic images by the bedside or intraoperatively, allergy information in an emergency medicine setting, or medical records by facial recognition, demonstrate the unique utility of this commercially available headmounted tool to present physicians with needed information quickly and effectively. Patient privacy has been addressed by customization of the Glass to shut off social media sharing.
2013年4月,谷歌发布了面向开发者的测试版谷歌眼镜,售价1500美元,名为Explorer版。Glass是一款重达50克的可穿戴式耳机,在右眼的优越视野中有一个棱镜式抬头彩色显示器。它包括一个内置500万像素的摄像头,带有1280 x 720像素的高清视频,每秒30帧的环境光传感器,Wi-fi和蓝牙连接,寺庙框架上的电容触摸板,16GB闪存,由2.1瓦时的锂聚合物电池供电。最早采用这种可穿戴技术的是医生,他们很快将这种工具整合到医疗和外科实践中。在医疗保健领域,谷歌眼镜的应用主要集中在以方便的方式访问特定患者的医疗记录上。有报道称,在床边或术中显示放射图像,在急诊医学环境中显示过敏信息,或通过面部识别显示医疗记录,证明了这种商业化的头戴式工具的独特效用,可以快速有效地向医生提供所需的信息。通过定制谷歌眼镜来关闭社交媒体分享,解决了患者隐私问题。

On a global scale, healthcare practitioners are now beginning to move from traditional desktop-based computer technologies towards mobile computing environments. Consequently, such environments have received immense attention from both academia and industry, in order to explore these promising opportunities, apparent limitations, and implications for both theory and practice. The application of mobile IT within a medical context, referred to as mobile health or mHealth, has revolutionised the delivery of healthcare services as mobile technologies offer the potential of retrieving, modifying and entering patient-related data/ information at the point-of-care. As a component of the larger health informatics domain mHealth may be referred as all portable computing devices (e.g. mobile phones, mobile clinical assistants and medical sensors) used in a healthcare context to support the delivery of healthcare services.

Introduction The increasing availability and capacity of mobile devices is transforming accessibility and coverage in the health field. Globally, there are nearly 6 billion mobile cellular subscriptions with penetration reaching 80% in the developing world. Particularly in low and middle-income countries, the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies, known as mobile health or mHealth, can improve the quality of care and enhance efficiency of service delivery within healthcare systems. In particular, mHealth innovations offer tremendous opportunities to improve access to health-related information in hard to reach areas. Such opportunities include increased operational efficiencies, low cost delivery, as well as enhanced diagnosis, treatment and tracking of diseases. Like many resources and devices in the larger field of health informatics, mHealth solutions can also improve consumer access to and control over information they receive about health and can help to advance knowledge and skills while reducing complexity. mHealth tools can provide improved access to healthcare while creating cost efficiency and increasing capacity and quality of healthcare.

Low health literacy is a barrier for many patients in the U.S. Patients with low health literacy have poor communication with their physicians, and thus face worse health outcomes. Several government agencies have highlighted strategies for improving and overcoming low health literacy. Mobile phone technology could be leveraged to implement these strategies to improve communication between patients and their physicians. Text messaging, in particular, is a simple and interactive platform that may be ideal for patients with low health literacy. We provide an exemplar for improving patient-physician communication and increasing HIV testing through a text message intervention.

Background: Lumbopelvic stability exercises are commonly prescribed for athletes to prevent sportsinjury; however, there is limited evidence that exercises are effective. Exercise trials are timeconsuming and costly to implement when teaching exercises or providing feedback directly toparticipants. Delivery of exercise programs using mobile technology potentially overcomes thesedifficulties.Aims: To evaluate the qualitative clinical changes and quantitative movement pattern changes onlumbopelvic stability and injury in recreational athletes following exercise. It is hypothesised thatathletes who complete the stability training program will improve their clinical rating of lumbopelvicstability, quantitatively improve their movement patterns and have fewer injuries compared to thosewho complete the stretching program.Methods: One hundred and fifty recreational athletes will be recruited for the trial. Direct contactwith researchers will be limited to three movement test sessions at baseline, 12 weeks and 12 monthsafter baseline. Videoed performance of the tests will be accessed from an internet data storage site byresearchers for clinical evaluation of lumbopelvic stability. Those without good stability at baselinewill be randomly allocated to one of two exercise groups. The exercise programs will be delivered viathe internet. Feedback on correct performance of the exercises will be provided using a smartphonesoftware application. Injury will be monitored weekly for 12 months using text messages.Conclusion: The trial protocol will establish if an exercise training program improves lumbopelvicstability and reduces injury. Improvement in lumbopelvic stability following an exercise programdelivered with mobile technology will enable the provision of exercise programs to other athleteswho may be geographically remote from their exercise provider and establish a method forresearchers and health professions to use for exercise programs for individuals with other healthconditions.Trial Registration: ACTRN12614000095662

Results: Thirty three percent (76/233) of trainees responded. Ninety two percent owned a smartphone. Trainees used smartphones at work for email (96%), calls (85%), SMS/MMS (81%), Internet browsing (76%) and medical app access (55%). Eighty two percent of respondents had downloaded at least one app, including clinical guidelines (70%), medical calculators (59%), anatomy guides (50%) and study aids (32%). There was no statistical difference between demographics and smartphone use or app downloads. Thirty five percent had used apps to help make clinical decisions. Thirteen percent felt they had encountered erroneous outputs, according to their own judgement and/or calculation. Fifty eight percent felt apps should be compulsorily regulated however only one trainee could name a regulatory body. Conclusion: Smartphone possession amongst NHS surgical trainees is high. Knowledge of app regulation is poor, with potential safety concerns regarding inaccurate outputs. Integration of apps, developed and approved by an appropriate authority, may improve confidence when integrating them into training and healthcare delivery.
