“One of the more interesting studies that came out of the 2009 annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) was one that found that radiologists should be able to accurately diagnose acute appendicitis from a remote location with the use of a handheld or mobile phone (in this case an iPhone) equipped with OsiriX mobile software.
Clearly, the utility of mobile communications as a healthcare tool continues to expand. Now, a study in Health Affairs argues that mobile communications—or m-health as the authors described it—should be able to play an increasingly important role in healthcare in developing countries.”
