Abstract
This chapter focuses on the exciting field of mobile devices in healthcare. We describe the variety of mobile devices used in healthcare and discuss considerations researchers, designers, software developers, and informaticians need to take into account when designing and deploying these devices in the healthcare environment. We examine both the use of mobile devices for healthcare providers and consumers. We cover the broad range of devices, ranging from stand alone devices in a largely historical perspective, through smartphones and tablets, and some slightly future leaning wearable devices. Lastly, we discuss things to consider when studying the use of mobile devices in the healthcare environment.
