Glass is a wearable headset weighing 50 grams with a prismatic heads-up color display in the superior visual field of the right eye. It includes a built-in 5 megapixel camera with 1280 x 720 pixel HD video at 30 frames per second ambient light sensor, Wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, a capacitive touchpad on the temple frame, 16GB of flash memory, and is powered by a 2.1 Watt-hour lithium polymer battery. Among the earliest adopters of this wearable technology were physicians, who quickly integrated this tool into medical and surgical practice. In health care, the application of the Glass has largely centered on the ability to access patientspecific medical records in a convenient manner. Reports of its use to display radiographic images by the bedside or intraoperatively, allergy information in an emergency medicine setting, or medical records by facial recognition, demonstrate the unique utility of this commercially available headmounted tool to present physicians with needed information quickly and effectively. Patient privacy has been addressed by customization of the Glass to shut off social media sharing.","PeriodicalId":87305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mobile technology in medicine","volume":"60 1","pages":"15-19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71136558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Globally, there are nearly 6 billion mobile cellular subscriptions with penetration reaching 80% in the developing world. Particularly in low and middle-income countries, the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies, known as mobile health or mHealth, can improve the quality of care and enhance efficiency of service delivery within healthcare systems. In particular, mHealth innovations offer tremendous opportunities to improve access to health-related information in hard to reach areas. Such opportunities include increased operational efficiencies, low cost delivery, as well as enhanced diagnosis, treatment and tracking of diseases. Like many resources and devices in the larger field of health informatics, mHealth solutions can also improve consumer access to and control over information they receive about health and can help to advance knowledge and skills while reducing complexity. mHealth tools can provide improved access to healthcare while creating cost efficiency and increasing capacity and quality of healthcare.","PeriodicalId":87305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mobile technology in medicine","volume":"4 1","pages":"35-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71136619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exercise trials are timeconsuming and costly to implement when teaching exercises or providing feedback directly toparticipants. Delivery of exercise programs using mobile technology potentially overcomes thesedifficulties.Aims: To evaluate the qualitative clinical changes and quantitative movement pattern changes onlumbopelvic stability and injury in recreational athletes following exercise. It is hypothesised thatathletes who complete the stability training program will improve their clinical rating of lumbopelvicstability, quantitatively improve their movement patterns and have fewer injuries compared to thosewho complete the stretching program.Methods: One hundred and fifty recreational athletes will be recruited for the trial. Direct contactwith researchers will be limited to three movement test sessions at baseline, 12 weeks and 12 monthsafter baseline. Videoed performance of the tests will be accessed from an internet data storage site byresearchers for clinical evaluation of lumbopelvic stability. Those without good stability at baselinewill be randomly allocated to one of two exercise groups. The exercise programs will be delivered viathe internet. Feedback on correct performance of the exercises will be provided using a smartphonesoftware application. Injury will be monitored weekly for 12 months using text messages.Conclusion: The trial protocol will establish if an exercise training program improves lumbopelvicstability and reduces injury. Improvement in lumbopelvic stability following an exercise programdelivered with mobile technology will enable the provision of exercise programs to other athleteswho may be geographically remote from their exercise provider and establish a method forresearchers and health professions to use for exercise programs for individuals with other healthconditions.Trial Registration: ACTRN12614000095662","PeriodicalId":87305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of mobile technology in medicine","volume":"3 1","pages":"46-54"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71136056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty two percent of respondents had downloaded at least one app, including clinical guidelines (70%), medical calculators (59%), anatomy guides (50%) and study aids (32%). There was no statistical difference between demographics and smartphone use or app downloads. Thirty five percent had used apps to help make clinical decisions. Thirteen percent felt they had encountered erroneous outputs, according to their own judgement and/or calculation. Fifty eight percent felt apps should be compulsorily regulated however only one trainee could name a regulatory body. Conclusion: Smartphone possession amongst NHS surgical trainees is high. Knowledge of app regulation is poor, with potential safety concerns regarding inaccurate outputs.
