Smartphones have radically changed medicine by giving doctors access to medical information, records, and colleagues from any location. Apps allow remote monitoring of patients and diagnostics like ECG readings. As sensors and artificial intelligence improve, smartphones will take on more medical roles like monitoring organs and managing chronic conditions. While technology expands access to care, doctors will still be needed for human touch, guidance, and complex treatments. Overall, smartphones are transforming healthcare by connecting doctors, patients, and data in new ways.

SMART PHONES IN MEDICINE
- 2. Recent Practice of Medicine We are practicing medicine in a technological age. During recent years, many physicians have been simultaneously using a pager, cellular telephone, and personal digital assistant (PDA) to keep in communication with the hospital and to access medical information or calendar functions.
- 3. Radical Change of Medicine with Smartphones Smartphones have radically changed many aspects of our everyday lives, from banking to shopping to entertainment. Medicine is next. With innovative digital technologies, cloud computing and machine learning, the medicalized smartphone is going to upend every aspect of health care.
- 4. Medicine become OPEN and patients Data is collected Finally, we simply cannot imagine what we’ll learn from the brave new world of open medicine: massive online information resources that pull together data from millions and eventually billions of individuals.
- 5. Smartphone do not Replace Doctors Digital Technology won’t replace physicians: You will still be seeing doctors, but the relationship will ultimately be radically altered.
- 6. Smartphones A Revolution Mobile technology has the potential to revolutionize how physicians practice medicine. From having access to the latest medical research at the point of care to being able to communicate at a moment's notice with physicians and colleagues around the world
- 8. A deceased Patient can be connected to other patients A person who develops a new illness could use an open-medicine resource to find their nearest “neighbour”—the individual who most closely resembles their condition—to help determine the best treatment.
- 9. SMART PHONES COLLECT THE HEALTH DATA FASTER Smartphones already can be used to take blood-pressure readings or even do an electrocardiogram. ECG apps have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for consumers and validated in many clinical studies. The apps’ data are immediately analysed, graphed, displayed on- screen updated with new measurements, stored and (at an individual’s discretion) shared.
- 10. Life is connected with Smartphone Many physicians have begun replacing multiple devices with a “smartphone,” which functions as a cellular telephone, pager, and PDA.
- 11. Wearable devices tracks our health and disease Using wearable wireless sensors, you can use your smartphone to generate your own medical data, including measuring your blood-oxygen and glucose levels, blood pressure and heart rhythm. And if you’re worried that your child may have an ear infection, a smartphone attachment will let you perform an easy eardrum exam that can rapidly diagnose the problem without a trip to the paediatrician.
- 12. Infectious Diseases and Medical Software One advantage to using a smartphone over a regular cellular telephone is the availability of stand-alone medical applications. Next page is a brief discussion of a few commonly used infectious diseases programs that may help practicing physicians or fellows in training become more efficient in patient care.

- 15. Hopkins Antibiotic Guide The Hopkins Antibiotic Guide has been available for many years, mostly for the Palm OS. Originally designed for the Palm OS and Pocket PC 2003 platforms, it has recently been made available through Skyscape (http://www.skyscape.com), expanding the available platforms. The guide has 3 main sections: syndromes, pathogens, and antibiotics. It provides clinically oriented, highlighted information regarding the diagnosis and management of infectious disease syndromes and other useful information
- 16. Epocrates The most commonly accessed medical software on a smartphone is a drug database. Many such databases are available, but Epocrates is perhaps the most commonly accessed. The free version provides access to the drug database,. Currently available for most platforms, Epocrates is a drug database that provides a wealth of clinical information.
- 17. Sanford Guide The traditional paperback pocket infectious disease guide is also available in an electronic format. The information provided electronically is identical to the paperback manuals but does allow for more frequent updates and will allow physicians to have access to the infectious disease
- 18. Infectious Disease Podcasts Podcasts are becoming an increasingly useful means of reviewing educational video and audio content on the Web. Some infectious disease–oriented educational sites (e.g., http://www.IDPodcasts.ne) permit broadcasts of medical presentations to smartphones with streaming audio and video playback capability.
- 19. Infectious Disease Podcasts With the iPhone, content downloaded to a computer may also be transferred to the device and played back using the iPod feature.

- 21. Epocrates (Free) The king of all medical apps, Epocrates enables physicians to review drug prescribing and safety information, select health insurance formularies for drug coverage information, perform calculations like BMI and GFR and access medical news and research.
- 22. Medscape (Free) A unit of WebMD, Medscape offers prescribing and safety information for drugs, procedure videos, a medical calculator and access to continuing medical education (CME) materials.
- 23. Skyscape (Free) This decision-support tool features drug information, a medical calculator, evidence- based clinical information and summaries of journal articles.
- 24. Doximity (Free) A professional network for physicians, Doximity offers the opportunity to connect with other doctors and comes with HIPAA- compliant faxing, emailing and text messaging.
- 25. Up To Date (Free) Along with Doximity, Up To Date is the only app that doesn't appear on both the most-used apps for smartphones and tablets lists. Up To Date is a reference tool that comes with evidence- based recommendations, mobile-optimized calculators and a CME tracker.
- 26. Future Use of Smartphones In the next decade, you—under select circumstances, involving high risk or major medical need—will be able to monitor almost every organ system, no matter how difficult to access, as firms start to produce Nano sensors to be embedded in your bloodstream. These microscopic sensors within your body can float in blood or be fixed to a micros tent in a tiny blood vessel.
- 27. What can be future of Medicine As more medical data is generated by patients and processed by computers, much of medicine’s diagnostic and monitoring aspects will shift away from physicians l. The “doctorless” patient will remain in charge, turning to doctors chiefly for treatment, guidance, wisdom, experience, empathy and the human touch. These doctors won’t write orders; they’ll offer advice.
- 28. Mobile Medical Application will take over many areas in Patient care Apps being used as medical devices or tied directly to medical devices are not accessible to consumers without a doctor’s order. While that likely makes them safe, it does imply a number of regulatory hurdles that can make this area less appealing to innovators. As we’ve now seen, these regulatory hurdles have been overcome as the FDA has approved or cleared nearly 100 medical apps. In 2015, HRI sees the FDA reviewing a record number of mobile health apps in order to meet the growing industry demand for this technology. According to HRI, over the next 5 years, 86% of clinicians believe that mobile apps will play a major role in a physician’s practice.
- 29. Smart watch Censors can cut the costs of care of even the serious patients Such wristwatch sensors could do enormous good. By having the equivalent of intensive care unit monitoring on your wrist, hospital rooms—a-night risk zones for serious infections and other complications—can be replaced by our bedrooms. As a result, except for ICUs, operating rooms and emergency rooms, hospitals of the future are likely to be room less data surveillance centres for remote patient monitoring.
- 30. Patients Can they manage the Health ? Mobile apps have the potential to transform health care by allowing doctors to diagnose patients with potentially life-threatening conditions outside of traditional health care settings, help consumers manage their own health and wellness, and also gain access to useful information whenever and wherever they need it,"
- 31. Our Decision from mHealth to be cautious Smartphones are emerging as a low-cost and feasible technology for the rapid deployment of telecare applications. However, the actual potentials of smartphones in mHealth (mobile health) scenarios must be carefully analysed
