“…Systems for monitoring dialysis (Nakamoto et al, 2003) and asthma (Sanderson, Andrews, Corry, & Lapsley, 2003) have been developed. One project developed a rapid application development methodology for producing personalized educational software for breast cancer patients (Wood, Keen, Basu, & Robertshaw, 2003). However, there is a significant difference between producing general healthcare applications and producing software for users with psychological problems, who may be considered fragile.…”

The advent of mobile technology has brought computing to a wide range of new contexts, some of which are highly sensitive and place new constraints on the designer. In this chapter we discuss issues related to the design and evaluation of mobile software for sensitive situations where access to the end-user is extremely restricted. We focus on the specific example of technological interventions that support adolescents in mental health care settings. We examine the practical and ethical constraints placed on access to end-users and contexts of use, and how this may affect approaches to design and evaluation. General design recommendations for this area are described. We consider approaches to iterative design with mental health care professionals, and how research on technological and therapeutic aspects may proceed in tandem. We identify methods that can be used when conducting evaluation in these limited situations and describe a methodology for maximising the value of such evaluation. By way of illustration, we present the design and evaluation of a mobile phone-based "mood diary" application designed for use in clinical situations by adolescents undergoing mental health interventions.

Digital health as a rapidly growing medical field relies comprehensively on human health data. Conventionally, the collection of health data is mediated by officially diagnostic instruments, operated by health professionals in clinical environments and under strict regulatory conditions. Mobile health, telemedicine, and other smart devices with Internet connections are becoming the future choices for collecting patient information. Progress of technologies has facilitated smartphones, wearable devices, and miniaturized health-care devices. These devices allow the gathering of an individual's health-care information at the patient's home. The data from these devices will be huge, and by integrating such enormous data using Artificial Intelligence, more detailed phenotyping of disease and more personalized medicine will be realistic. The future of medicine will be progressively more digital, and recognizing the importance of digital technology in this field and pandemic preparedness planning has become urgent.

Mobile learning could enhance behaviourist learning process through stimulus, response and feedback procedures.…”

“…Lifelong learning happens when learners enhance their knowledge through continuing vocational and professional education in their lifetime [1]. Examples of informal and lifelong learning are young learners using mobile phones to play quizzes and read stories with interactive features [38], and the sending of audio-visual breast cancer information to patients" PDAs during their course of treatments [39].…”

Abstract-Since 2009, more than 40 million iPhone and iPad users have downloaded more than 1 billion apps through the App store. The drastic increase in the use of mobile applications has formed new ways of English Language Arts education. In recent years, the representation of William Shakespeare, the English poet and playwright legacies such as books, poems, plays and birthplace has also been extended to mobile applications. Learning Shakespeare's works through mobile devices will move learning out of the classroom and into the learner's real and virtual environments which has raised the interest among language educators. This paper describes a project which examines the current developments in mobile learning applications of English literature with a focus on Shakespeare-related apps. Apps related to Shakespeare listed in iTunes were explored. We discuss the different types of apps that are applicable to language art learning. Based on Naismith, et al.'s mobile learning research, the learning theories that are related to this new medium are identified and discussed.
