Healthcare Industry
Mobile data services will also be of value in the healthcare
industry. Some of the applications that can be considered as being enabled by 3G
wireless networks are:
-
The ability to monitor patients remotely. Patients can go about
their lifestyles while using wireless data transmitters, and the data is then
monitored by hospitals and doctors. Medical research also benefits with the
ability to monitor patients on a constant basis.
-
Doctors can access patient information and records easily from
mobile devices and provide prescriptions in emergencies.
-
When ambulances or emergency services are requested, location
information provided via the mobile device or monitors can be used to direct
vehicles and emergency personnel more effectively.
-
Doctors can also have access to databases while on the move to
check for more information regarding symptoms or research
information.
