Healthcare is undergoing a transformation as more and more healthcare professionals are using smartphones and tablets as tools to help patients. This brief video clip discusses the burgeoning use of mobile technology devices in healthcare. In one year, for example, the number of doctors who used mobile technology to collect bedside data from patients increased from 30% to 45%. Apps such as VigiVU, which allows doctors to monitor multiple operating room cameras, may be a great help to busy healthcare professionals, but they do have their detractors. Some question the safety and privacy of health apps. Others worry that healthcare will become too depersonalized as more and more data becomes available through technology.
