Word has it that NTT DoCoMo has developed a new cellphone that targets doctors and nurses who are constantly on the go, with the handset carrying medical records database that will come in useful whenever they're treating patients who are not within vicinity of the hospital. Data is viewed using the DoCoMo FOMA 3G-enabled cellphone, giving instant access to patients' hospital records. Sounds like a neat idea, and this will definitely save lives during emergencies. I wonder when will healthcare professionals in other countries gain the same privilege?
