Melanoma Screening with Cellular Phones

Melanoma Screening with Cellular Phones

BACKGROUND Mobile teledermatology has recently been shown to be suitable for teledermatology despite limitations in image definition in preliminary studies. The unique aspect of mobile teledermatology is that this system represents a filtering or triage system, allowing a sensitive approach for the management of patients with emergent skin diseases. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this stud...

Analysis of Pedestrian Navigation Using Cellular Phones

Navigation services for pedestrians are spreading in recent years. Our approach to provide personal navigation is to build a multiagent system that assigns one guiding agent to each human. This paper attempts to demonstrate a design implication of the guiding agent. In the navigation experiment where a pedestrian using a map on a GPScapable cellular phone was guided by a distant navigator, we o...

Providing Mobile Web Services via Cellular Phones

The demand for access to the Internet by mobile users is increasing. Recent emergence of low-cost wireless appliances made it possible to surf the Internet with handheld devices. One of the competing technologies is the use of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) phones. However, due to limited processing and memory capacity, small display and inefficient input mechanism, it is a challenge to se...

Cellular phones, cordless phones, and the risks of glioma and meningioma (Interphone Study Group, Germany).

The widespread use of cellular telephones has generated concern about possible adverse health effects, particularly brain tumors. In this population-based case-control study carried out in three regions of Germany, all incident cases of glioma and meningioma among patients aged 30-69 years were ascertained during 2000-2003. Controls matched on age, gender, and region were randomly drawn from po...
