...Mobile Computing and Social Networking Personally speaking, doctor’s visits have has always been dreadful. From having to dedicate a section of my schedule for the visit, to the long waiting times in the lobby, it has always been an inconvenience. These inconveniences are soon to become a thing of the past with the emergence of mobile computing technologies. Mobile computing is user to computer interaction by which device is can be used on the move and is not bound to a stationary location by wires. Mobile computing involves mobile communication, mobile hardware, and mobile software (Sweet, 2010). This rising technology’s biggest impact can be seen in today’s healthcare infrastructure. This technology allows a user to track and retrieve their health stats on demand. Doctors now have the ability to retrieve these same stats from medical databases created to store their patients’ records. In today’s fast paced world, everything is accessible on demand usually through mobile devices. This trend is also very prevalent in health care. People can now track their vitals, such as blood pressure, blood glucose levels, oxygen levels, and heart rate all from the convenience of their wireless or mobile devices. When comparing mobile computing and in patient visits, the most obvious difference between the two is how convenient mobile computing has made monitoring patient vitals. No longer have patients had to be on-site for doctors to view how well they are doing. In the past it could...

...for Decision Making MOBILE COMPUTING AND SOCIAL NETWORKING Dr. Albert C. Dominic Strayer University August 14, 2014 Introduction Mobile computing has created new ways in which information can be accessed and distributed. The use of wireless networking has been a major contributor factor in utilization of mobile computing. Nurses are now better suited to monitor patient’s vital signs preventing the need for periodic doctors’ visits to perform readings such as glucose levels and blood pressure readings. Compare and contrast monitoring of patient vital signs using mobile computing technology to in-patient visits to the doctor’s office or hospital A report in the Institute of Medicine in the year 2000 stated that there are cases where the death of patients was due to human errors within the healthcare system. The report claims that patients dying from errors may range from 44,000 to 95,000 yearly Turban & Volonino, (2011). Mobile technology greatly decreases the probability of errors, for example patients are fitted with tags equipped with barcodes, once scanned the patient’s info is available and easily read. This helps lower the probability of mistakes in hand writing translating. Using mobile technology also allows the doctor the ability to go online to insure the medicine he or she is prescribing doesn’t conflict with drug allergies or current medication Turban & Volonino, (2011). Another asset of using mobile technology versus hand written doctor’s...
