“Smart” Health Medical Record?

Think about this!

You have scheduled a visit to your doctor on the calendar of your smartphone. Sometime before the visit you may get an alert from your smartphone asking if you wish to send or update your health medical record with your doctor’s database.

This is a scenario that could be possible through developing technology referred to as “context-aware computing”. Actually, “context-aware computing” is an idea that has been discussed for two decades, but it is being advanced with the availability of smartphones.

Jordan Robertson of the Associated Press, published an article on msnbc.com titled “Mind-reading  Phones? The tech’s evolving there” introducing context-aware computing.

It is truly amazing what may be accomplished in future with a smartphone and the health medical record.
