Intel Designs Mobile Platform For Healthcare
Looks like the Continua Health Alliance is giving excellent results.
"The mobile clinical assistant platform is the outcome of hospital workflow studies, nurse and physician interviews, and ethnographic research among nurses at El Camino Hospital in Mountain View, Calif. It focuses on the healthcare community?s needs to enhance patient safety, reduce medication-dispensing errors and ease staff workloads.

The platform could also include a digital camera to enhance patient charting and progress notes; Bluetooth technology to record patient vital signs; wireless connectivity to access electronic medical records systems."
