Mobile Phone Disadvantages

Whereas PDA's were once the norm in only the business world, modern PDA's have technology that is invaluable to nurses. For instance, bar code scanning technology can be used by hospitals to ensure that a patient's information is accessed directly from their hospital band, preventing chart errors and ensuring optimal patient safety. This same technology is also used for verifying medications and proper dosing both on patient bands and medication bottles (Carayon, 2007). Additionally, a PDA can connect directly to the internet, allowing nurses to access medical journals and other research information and print instantly, providing patients with the necessary information to make proper decisions for themselves. Another study utilized a radio frequency technology in a PDA to detect and account for surgical gauze sponges, preventing the

The For example, there are apps that can be installed on smart phones that assist in diagnosis and act as virtual doctors, others also grants patients access to doctors on-line, for example, Doctor-on-Demand, an app which gives access to a video visit with a board certified medical professional, all from the comfort of your

Another way to improve a patient’s quality of care is with the integration of handheld devices by the nursing staff. An example is the use of a PDA or tablet. Many healthcare providers are using these items today. These items allow for increased quality of care allow the physician to access, ordering and review from almost anywhere. They also allow for real-time documentation; meaning with a PDA or tablet, a physician can be with their patient at the patients bedside placing orders and making notes on the chart, not waiting until after the examination and after talking with the patient then going to the chart and making notes and placing orders based off memory. PDA’s or tablets can also provide evidence-based decision-support by allowing access to many different resources. This will again allow for improved quality of care for

Technology has left a lasting impression on today 's culture, both good and bad. The world is filling with countless pieces of technological device that flood our rooms and homes. Television sets, desktop computers, gaming systems, radios etc. One device in particular that floods the pockets of most people is cell phones.

Transferring technology with the use of mobile apps can help patient’s live healthier lives. Even though, it may be too early to detect the results, technology could help save money in health care costs and improve patient treatment. Patients will have better communication with their doctors easily and quicker. Instead, they won’t need to make unnecessary expensive trips to the ER but just call and view questions/concerns through cell phones or computers. Physicians will be able to use computers to analyze patient and medical data, allowing them to provide better and more efficient treatment for their patients (Topol, E. 2013, July 13).

Since 2009 there has been increase of technology use in the healthcare setting. Approximately two-thirds of physician’s have adapted to the use of smartphones. (Kahn- Sarasohn, 2010). Some tools that are being implemented in the hospital setting are patient record programs, alerts, medical reference tools, diagnostic tools, and further medical education. This type of technology is so appealing because a smartphone is a mobile computer, which allows physician’s to receive real-time updates. In addition to the convenience of smartphones, the simplicity plays a major

The cliche “Big as life” (big, very large) are what the Smartphones has become in today’s society because they occupy our lives, jobs, school, entertainment, and how we communicate. The Smartphone is one of the many technology necessity that makes it easier and quicker to connect with family and friends near and afar. Because there are many opportunities and challenges with the use of Smartphones in the healthcare field not all are beneficial. The lost will be greater than the gain of benefits when patients and healthcare workers well-being and livelihood are being compromised. Even though Smartphones

he current market for UAV control software lacks flexibility for long range flights with collision avoidance capabilities. There is currently no consumer available option for BVLOS besides wide range Wi-Fi

In the article (Dis)connected by Kirsten Weir, she states 72% of U.S. adults reported owning a smartphone in 2015 (Weir 2017). Smartphones are causing people to suffer from lack of sleep, a short attention-span, and a lowering well being. Those are the downsides of smartphones and some benefits include; easily portable, productivity boosting devices. Smartphones are used not only as phones, but as clocks, internet browsers, messaging services, calendars, cameras, alarm clocks, road maps and video players. (Weir 2017). The module in our textbook states that light affects our sleep patterns in the circadian rhythm is the reason for people suffering from lack of sleep, a short attention span, and a lowering well being. This topic is important because it affects the majority of the population, especially the coming generations as well as the growing magnitude of this issue and its negative effects on our society and specific individuals. In the following paragraphs I’ll explain why smartphones are considered “sleep stealers”, research strategies, and how smart phone usage can be rewarding and the potential downsides of smartphone use.

Technology has changed the world in different sectors. One of the fastest growing industries being the phones. The primary purpose why technology introduced phones were to make communication between people more comfortable. And the fact is that since phones got to the market, everything changed in human life because you would pass information anywhere and anytime to others. Being a fast growing sector phones got modified, more digitalized devices known as smartphones got to the market and since its digital world, of course, none wanted to be left analog. Currently, the most significant number of people in the world own smartphones for various reasons some for fun and others for beneficial purposes like using them for learning.

Let me start my presentation with , IS ANY ONE HERE STILL REMEMBER HOWS LIFE BEFORE SMARTPHONE KICS IN ??? Well if you dont, its okay cause actually smartphones has developed sin 1992 and for 23 years until now. And the first smartphone was by IMB with their Simon Personal Communicator.

Mobile technology gives people the power to build community and bring the world closer together, as we can connect our loved ones far and near. Regardless of where one resides, communication and strong community can be possible with the help of mobile technology. When I came to the United States back in 2012, I was homesick. There was not a lot that I could do to connect with my friends and relatives back home, other than send them texts or call them. Now, with more advanced technology that I am exposed to, I can video call on Facebook Messenger. I have been video calling my friends and relatives back home since 2013. Although we are living different lives, with the help of the Facebook Messenger, we are able to share our experience with one another. I am used to this feature, and I cannot imagine myself losing touch with my friends and relatives back home, as I learn from their experiences just as I tell them about mine. The reason I have not gone back home since 2012, is because of Facebook’s video calling feature. I did not feel a need to go see my friends and relatives because I was able to see them through video calling. When I video call, I am usually with my friends. That way I am able to connect my Indian friends with my American friends and form community between the two.

Earlier when phones came out they had few functions, like calling and messaging just what was required. The disadvantages of regular phones were that they did not have constant internet access for information, good camera technology, alarm clock, calculator for math etc smartphones now have multiple functions like accessing information with the help of internet, high quality camera, travel light when no electricity, alarm clock to wake up in the morning, stopwatch to track time, world time, work access from anywhere around the globe, map direction, to do lists, games for children, video calling that is why why smartphones with these features have taken over regular phones.
