Adherence is an important factor for the outcome of medical therapies. Several reminder applications to raise adherence have been developed, e.g., smart phone apps. Literature suggests that such solutions seem to be inefficient. In this paper, we discuss current research in the field of ultra-mobile devices, i.e., smart watches. In addition, we investigate on requirements of a smart watch-based...

In this study, the authors design a user-support system employing a smart phone for skin progress analysis. The authors’ proposed system seeks to provide user support for a skin diagnostic service employing a smart phone’s camera, with the user’s photograph of a skin image and continuous diagnosis of the photographed area. The cognitive user-support module recognizes the processing and the user...

Because handhelds are inexpensive compared to other types of computers, users can possess more than one of these devices, each having a specialized user interface. Although handhelds can be used in isolation, they also can interoperate with other devices through wireless networks including WiFi and Bluetooth. Further, by using inexpensive components, developers can integrate different technolog...

Seldom does a disruptive technology just appear on the scene like an intergalactic hitchhiker on a meteor or asteroid. The smart phone might seem to be one of those. It revolutionized the way we think about and conduct our lives. It’s really not a phone at all but a mini-computer with which we make the occasional real-time voice call. Problem-based Learning (PBL) and the Multiple Mini Interview...
