Abstract (2. Language):
The inadequate availability of medical information has often made health care
services in many developing countries cumbersome with enormous paper work,
waste of life, time and resources, long queues, and ineffective treatment procedures.
The use of mobile technology devices such as Personal Digital Assistants, Cell phone,
Tablet PCs etc for health care delivery promises a revolution in modern health care.
However, applications that provide access to real-time patients and research
information at the point-of-care via mobile devices are at best in their low stage of
adoption across the health sector.
In this paper, the experience gained in designing mobile health care applications is
used to proffer e-Education functionalities in the design of healthcare systems to
enhance their acceptance in the medical domain. The application discussed uses, the
Unified Modelling Language, mobile, and Java-based technologies for its
development. The application provides a real-time access to medical information at
the points of health-care delivery within health care centres.
