Health Care Unplugged: The Evolving Role of Wireless Technology. This free-to-download report was written by Richard Adler for the California HealthCare Foundation. The report is based on interviews with more than two dozen researchers, clinicians, and application developers, along with a review of a broad range of published papers and articles, web resources, and other materials. It includes an overview of who is using wireless technology and how it is evolving, as well as the wide variety of wireless health care applications that are already available or under development.
Vince Kuraitis, in his e-caremanagement blog, says about the report: “If you wanted to read just one report to get up to speed on the state-of-the-art and the promise of wireless patient focused health care applications, this is the one I’d recommend.” And anything Vince recommends is a good recommendation.
