Rural Medicine Getting SmartPhone Overhaul
Author: Eric Everson, Founder MyMobiSafe.com
In the medical field of rural medicine, access to technology can provide drastic improvements in patient health. As Health Editor, Madeleine Brindley pointed out yesterday SmartPhones are creating vast improvements in this critical health field.
As noted, “The 140 district nurses in Powys have become the first in Wales to be given smart phones in a bid to reduce the amount of time they spend on paperwork. The phones allow them to access vital patient information at the touch of a button while visiting patients in the community.”
Despite all of the issues that we discuss related to the complexities of these handsets, it’s always good to see the application of mobile technology to advance the treatment of healthcare. As rural healthcare is a global issue, certainly mobile technology has the ability to play a pivotal role in advancing the quality of care.
Your go-to guy in mobile security,

Remote computing is no longer a luxury, but actually a critical element of the job, particularly for employees such as sales representatives, engineers, nurses or field workers.
Mobile workers are employed for a variety of skills, but are not necessarily IT savvy and certainly not security experts.
Yet, according to a Sybase iAnywhere survey, more than 71% of companies leave the responsibility of securing mobile data in the hands of these users. The disconnect is clear.
For all companies, regardless of size, trusting employees to work remotely is actually a scary concept. Very few employees intentionally introduce viruses or cause their device to stop functioning, however many do it inadvertently simply because of a lack of knowledge and understanding of their devices.
