Revolutionary smartphone medical application ... works only in Windows Mobile Pocket PC phones ! October 22, 2005 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. This Windows Mobile based medical system, allows wireless access to the entire medical record including reviewing of X-ray scans: 
... and observing remotely live real time EKG waveforms: 
... and remote access to even more medical data. Since in medicine time is critical, it is critical to use reliable operating system like Windows Mobile instead of toy-like Symbian... Windows Mobile is so good that it is being used even in one of the most sensitive surgery - neurosurgery, as Neil Martin, M.D., confims: 
But that's not all! Read on... Also Tarun Arora, M.D., confirms that this system is simply life saving: 
And David Liebeskind, M.D.: 
... says that he was hiking with his children in mountains, and at the same time was staying in touch with his patients thanks to this extra-ordinary system! Albin Gritsch, M.D., hopes that in future also patients could have such devices and access to this big amounts of medical data about them: 
Interstingly UCLA is using not only Verizon PPC 6600 Pocket PC phone (visible in 2 first photos above) but also Samsung i730 Pocket PC phone (and other models like i-mate JAM, HP iPAQ PDAs, etc): 
Here, on example of "White Blood Cell Count", you can see how easy it is to access all data of a patient: 
More information from UCLA follows. * * * * * For the first time - real-time ICU monitoring and full radiology PACs imaging on smartphones. Physicians carry instant cellular access to the ICU in their pocket. Someday every physician will carry a wirelessly-connected information device for real-time remote access to patient data - That day is today for UCLA Neurosurgeons. * * * * * UCLA Medical Center Shreds Hospital Paper Chase With Mobile, Wireless Access to Comprehensive Patient Data UCLA Medical Center is piloting a mobile, wireless patient information retrieval system that gives physicians instant access from throughout the hospital and around the world to real-time patient data via wireless Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and cellular smart phones. The Global Care Quest system, or GCQ, is intended to improve access to patient data, save health care workers time, trim the cost of care and tighten patient safety standards. At UCLA, GCQ integrates with digital medical records, bedside charting and laboratory results, to create the most comprehensive digital medical data storage and retrieval system of its kind. This state-of-the-art software solution advances existing technology by offering - for the first time - PDA and cellular smart phone access to real-time data from bedside ICU monitors, as well as X-ray and CT/MRI scan imaging studies. Physicians can access medical data throughout the medical center via the hospital\'s wireless network (Wi-Fi or 802.11b), and remotely, outside the hospital, through high-speed cellular network connections (1xRTT, EV-DO, EDGE).
