The field of digital (mobile) Health (mHealth) is experiencing significant growth. With this growth, we are witnessing some truly
unique and novel solutions to
healthcare issues, from iPhone based anaesthetic monitors to "smart
slippers". Google Goggles are another new product which is likely to be
utilized in healthcare, and it will be interesting to see where
innovative minds will take such a technology.
Whilst these novel developments amongst mobile technology show great
promise, it is of utmost importance that the rigors of evidence based
medicine are applied. Without a strong evidence base to support a
product or application, one needs to be cautious about its use. New
pharmaceutical products undergo demanding testing, and their efficacy
needs to be proved through appropriate studies. Similarly, new mobile
technologies should also be tested through the scientific process, and
their value needs to be carefully documented.
The
Journal of Mobile Technology in Medicine
(www.journalmtm.com) is an international peer reviewed medical journal
which focuses on publishing mHealth related research. The journal is
published on an open-access basis, and so all articles are available in
full text free of charge. If you are interested in submitting an article
