Wireless technologies have been utilized in hospitals for tracking inventory, keeping on top of patient care, and information workflow. Many of the high-tech hospitals are wireless and use technologies as RFID to do this tracking. Included in the mix are an assortment of applications that cater to a wireless and mobile services industry.
Taking this one step further, Ericsson and Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation are taking digital health services to rural India through the education and implementation of deployed applications over broadband-enabled mobile networks.
Dr. Prathap C. Reddy, Chairman of the Apollo Hospitals Group said it best: "Apollo Hospitals dedicates itself, to make mobile health a reality for everyone in India".
My hat is off to this proper use of technology.
