The use of technology in health sciences has a direct impact on
health outcomes, as well as on the quality and the safety of
healthcare processes. In addition, the use of new technological
developments in medical education has proven to be greatly
effective, as it allows to create realistic learning environments
to experience with procedures and devices that will become common
in medical practice. However, bringing in new technologies into the
health sector is a complex task. Different actors such as health
and care practitioners, technological solution providers, health
organizations and regulators and governing bodies, are involved in
care provision. Thus, from the point of view of the technological
research and development community it is important to have a
comprehensive vision of the health sciences ecosystem (encompassing
many different areas of research). This book provides an overview
of the technological trends within the health sciences ecosystem,
identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the research presented
to date and depicting the possible future research directions
within education and practice. Healthcare technologies are a highly
valued tool for improving and transforming healthcare. As they are
being adopted by the health community, there has been a reduction
in the number of cases of human error, an improvement in clinical
outcomes, easier coordination, and more efficient clinical
practices. This book has an impact on the different levels of the
health sciences ecosystem. It allows developers of medical
technologies to broaden their perspective for the creation of
future medical technologies and applications, and on the other
hand, allows practitioners and medical educators to gain insight
into emerging technological research within the health sciences.
Mobile phones have become an integral part of society, as their
convenience has helped democratize and revolutionize communication
and the marketplace of ideas. Because of their ubiquity in higher
education, undergraduate classrooms have begun to utilize
smartphones and tablets as tools for learning. The Handbook of
Research on Mobile Devices and Applications in Higher Education
Settings explores and fosters new perspectives on the use of mobile
applications in a classroom context. This timely publication will
demonstrate the challenges that universities face when introducing
new technologies to students and instructors, as well as the
rewards of doing so in a thoughtful manner. This book is meant to
present the latest research and become a source of inspiration for
educators, administrators, researchers, app developers, and
students of education and technology.
