The Wireless Health Case Report on the 101 medical uses of cell phones includes some really interesting ideas about technological advancements in healthcare. Some of the ideas are pretty … well … out there. Other ideas not only look realistic, but strangely similar to things clearTXT (and others) already address in the education space.

Here’s a quick list…

10.1 Appointment Reminders (SMS)
10.2 Patient Support (SMS)
10.3 Medication Reminders (SMS)
10.4 Appointment Booking
10.5 Medical Data On SIM Card
10.6 Patient Information For Relatives
10.7 Peer Support For Patients
10.8 Post Cardiac Surgery Support
10.9 Accessing Patient Records
10.10 Access To Dietary Information

Will robots become the doctor’s of the future? I don’t know, but cell phones becoming a part of almost every aspect of life sure seems like a good bet!
