Patients may take more initiative to give more attention to their health as well as foster closer relationship with the caregivers and this has been made possible through smartphone. This paper investigates the perceived usefulness of smartphone among healthcare personnel in a private hospital setting. The study has identified elements which have had impact on individual decision to use smartphones using Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Questionnaires were distributed to 57 respondents including medical doctors, nurses and head of department of a hospital. The analysis shows that the younger generations were more 'trendy' in owning a Smartphone. The study indicates that females reported better acceptance of smartphone use in their works. Healthcare industry will be more patient-centric instead of doctorcentric, hence, it is important for healthcare providers to provide services in line with the customers' requirement without jeopardizing patient safety and lives.

“…touch-drag-drop) effectively reduces the number of key strokes to perform basic tasks. The iPhones are also found to be an ideal tool for collecting patient data for online health platforms [12]. Applications such as OsiriX, an image processing software, has potential to expedite diagnosis and treatment planning while facilitating communication among radiologists and referring clinicians [18].…”

Home telehealth applications are increasingly gaining in popularity among patients due their promise to use healthcare resources more effectively and hence to lower costs. Commercial telehealth systems usually employ patient stations and vital sign monitoring equipment in order to fulfill the need of medical professionals by enabling close monitoring of patients with severe chronic diseases. However, due their high cost, vendor lock-in, and doctor centric design, these systems are not suitable for general healthcare applications such as improving cardiac fitness, monitoring overall health, improving muscle strength and balance of elderly, or assisting with dieting programs. We argue that many of these goals can be supported in a cost effective manner by leveraging mainstream sensing devices such as game controllers and smartphones. Open-ended web-based telehealth systems can be integrated with such devices, in order to add a social component, collect health data unobtrusively, and provide feedback and health related information. In this paper, we systematically categorise and analyse consumer-level sensing devices in terms of their potential to extend the capability of telehealth systems. We show that the devices have immense potential as tools for therapy and rehabilitation activities, diagnosis, health monitoring and social support, and we reveal opportunities for professionals in computer vision, graphics and signal processing to participate in this trend.

“…Other popular mobile medical applications include Medilyzer and Procedures Consult which provide drug references and educational material to medical students and professionals. (Hamou, 2010) The use of digital devices in healthcare is not new per se. The collection of data from patients using the The LINC-2 computer was discussed as far back as 1966 in the New England Journal of Medicine.…”

“…Hamou says, "The use of ubiquitous computing devices (especially smart mobile phone technology) for collecting data is better suited in a high tech hospital environment." (Hamou, 2010) The user experience of these devices plays an important part in the success of their use in evaluating patient quality of life. Medical and patient information on mobile devices may well become a key part of the patient experience of healthcare in the near future.…”

“…(Tiplady, 2010) The integrity and quality of data collected using a digital device (Touchscreen, iPad or iPhone etc) has been shown to benefit in the elimination of ambiguous responses and in reducing answers to questions in for which no response is given. (Hanscom, 2002 cited in Tiplady 2010) Larsson's (2006) findings indicated that touch screens gave similar results to paper and pen surveys, were easy to use and importantly contained complete sets of data. (The patient could not skip a question to go forward, however they were able to go back and revisit their answers.)…”
