More people today have access to a mobile phone than to clean water or the electrical grid.~http://water.org/learn-about-the-water-crisis/facts/
Mobile Devices
• Apple iPhone, iPod Touch• Droid• Blackberry Curve and Storm• HTC• Palm• Kindle• iPad• Etc.• What do you have?
mHealth
• The practice of medicine and public health, supported by mobile devices, such as smart phones and wireless connectivity, for health services and information.
• The use of mobile devices to support health related monitoring and self-help activities.
“…smartphones are not miniature PCs but ‘a whole ecosystem with its own set of rules’”

DEVELOPING AND DESIGNING FOR MOBILE PART IWeb App Development
Pre Development• Survey! Who’s your audience? What mobile devices are they using? How are they using them?
• Are you going to make an app or a webapp?
App• Java, Objective C, JQuery
Mobile• Single platform• Full hardware access
(GPS, camera, accelerometer, etc.)
• Can be used offline• Tricky to get usage
statistics• Make new version for
each platform
Webapp• HTML, CSS, Javascript• Mutli-platform (with
caveats)• Limited hardware access
(GPS?)• Requires Internet
connection (with caveats)
• Standard webstats (with caveats)
Dedicated Mobile Website vs Native App
• HTML5• Allow visitors to access the full site• Allow visitors to report bugs• Keep it simple – don’t cram the entire full-browser site into a mobile site
Designing for the Mobile Web• Prioritize features and content
• Sacrifice!
• Reduce levels of hierarchy for content• Flatten the structure of your site so visitors don’t get lost
• Data entry is awkward (don’t make me type too much)• Encourage selection rather than typing
• Keep forms to a minimum• Download speeds can be much slower than on desktops• Minimize the use of elements that require more processing time
Work with what you have• Modifying the ‘meta name’ in the HTML of the website
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
• Adjust text sizehtml { -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; /* Automatically adjusted for Safari on iPhone. */ -ms-text-size-adjust: auto; }
Work with what you have• Media Queries aka Adaptive Layout<link rel="stylesheet" href="…" media="print" />
<link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 480px)"href="mobile.css" />

Physician Adoption• # of physicians who own smartphones will increase from 64% in 2009 to 81% by 2012
• No longer using it as a reference device but as a computer replacement
• 1 in 5 plan to buy an iPad• How can physicians use mobile technology… to communicate with their patients? (And are they doing it?)

Body Area Network (BAN)
• Mobile wearable or implanted sensors
• Monitors chronic disease
• Transmits data in real time
• May automatically treat patients (insulin)
• Still in primitive stage of development
• Big issue: security

QR CODES
QR Codes
Uses for QR Codes
Some, uh, Interesting Uses of QR Codes
Generating a QR Code• http://qrcode.kaywa.com/
• For non-commercial use only• Can create a barcode that points to a URL, Text, Phone
Number or SMS
QR Codes Do Not Have to be Boring!• Add color or images• Soften hard edges with round corners• Give it a 3D effect
AUGMENTED REALITY
AR
Example: Hallux Angles - Radiology
Watching Trends, Keeping Up
