Abstract

Several efforts have been attempt in developing mobile application for the healthcare domain. Several of these applications, however, have not met the requirements imposed by the inherent mobility nature of medical activities and the limitation of the mobile devices. This paper presents a tool to query information about medical data taking into account the limited mechanism of input and output and the fact that doctors need the information while moving among different places at the hospitals.
