NTT DoCoMo create phones for doctors

NTT DoCoMo create phones for doctors
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?

That's true but wouldn't requirig a password or a fingerprint before acessing the records solve 95% of the problem?

As a health professional, I wonder how patients will react when they hear that their entire medical history can be hauled around, and stolen, on a phone.
