...increase of mobile health devices and services. With the rising cost of health care, compounded by an aging population, mobile health is being thrust to the forefront as a potential alternative to providing effective health care services. Mt. Sinai Hospital, in New York, recently adopted and signed a contract for the use of Cureatr. It is the first major organization to adopt such a program (Mt. Sinai Hospital, 2013). It is a cell-phone based application, which places its emphasis on mobile health. According to The Rockefeller Foundation (2014), there are currently over 3.5 billion mobile devices in the world. Interestingly enough, that number is set to double within the next decade, which makes mobile health services a great alternative for health care providers. Integrating the Cureatr application has and will continue to provide many benefits to both patients and providers. These benefits range from improved quality of care, improving cost of care, accessibility, and overall quality of life for patients. Cureatr Overview It is estimated that there are currently 15 million users for mobile health devices. Within the next five years, it is projected that the number of mobile health users will increase to 96 million (Donovan, 2013). “Cureatr is currently the fastest growing mobile-care coordination solution for health care providers” (Business Wire, 2013). The Cureatr application was developed for and created by health care providers with the intent to make communications between...

...combined mobile delivery of email, voice mail and messaging services. GoMobile software will allow customers to receive important messages on all Smartphone’s including RIM, Palm, Android, Windows, iPhone, and Android devices. GoMobile’s values and intentions are in the improved efficiency of an enterprises communication and the enlarged manageability of numerous devices and the communication applications linked to these mobile devices. GoMobile’s software will concentrate on the necessity of enterprise employees to be in constant contact with their communication applications, even when they are not in the office building or even when the employee is away on vacation. GoMobile supplies users with an integrated access to their email, voicemail and other messaging applications on their mobile device. GoMobile’s contribution is mainly needed by an IT department that is required to sustain numerous devices while having the equivalent access to email, voice mail and instant message notifications. For example, Palm, Windows, Android, iPhone, and RIM devices operate on completely distinct configurations and work in different ways with major email packages like Microsoft Outlook and Lotus Notes. Without GoMobile, different devices and email packages need an IT Department to configure distinct software solution for each brand of device. Now GoMobile will be the universal platform connecting the user’s communication applications (email, voice mail, messaging) and the major mobile devices...

...Evolution of Mobile Banking Universal Banking Solution System Integration Consulting Business Process Outsourcing Banks are constantly on the search for solutions which will help reduce their cost of operations and improve customer experience. In this continuous journey, the banking industry has seen several technology trends being adopted and several innovations delivered. Innovations in banking delivery channels dates back to the introduction of ATMs as a self-service delivery channel. The ATMs heralded a new era of banking as the concept of self-service was introduced for the first time. ATMs also marked the entry of anytime banking as customers could now access money from their bank accounts at a time of their convenience. The wave of selfservice continued and the advent of Internet banking introduced the concept of anywhere banking as customers could now access their bank accounts from the comforts of their home or office. The new wave of technology-led delivery channels had caught up with the traditional branch banking and the customer experience from these new delivery channels had set new standards. However, banks noticed a trend customers mainly visiting ATMs for simple balance inquiry of mini statement transactions. This trend began to add to the cost pressures on the ATM channel. Internet banking was facing its own battle as security issues loomed large and customers restricted usage of Internet banking to their home and office computers...

...CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION Mobile devices allow users to run powerful applications that take advantage of the growing availability of built-in sensing and better data exchange capabilities of mobile devices. As a result, mobile applications seamlessly integrate with real-time data streams and Web 2.0 applications, such as mashups, open collaboration, social networking and mobile commerce. The mobile execution platform is being used for more and more tasks, e.g., for playing games; capturing, editing, annotating and uploading video; handling finances; managing personal health, micro payments, ticket purchase, interacting with ubiquitous computing infrastructures. Even mobile device hardware and mobile networks continue to evolve and to improve, mobile devices will always be resource-poor, less secure, with unstable connectivity, and with less energy since they are powered by battery. Mobile devices can be seen as entry points and interface of cloud online services. Mobile devices (e.g., smartphone, tablet pcs, etc.) are increasingly becoming an essential part of human life as the most effective and convenient communication tools not bounded by time and place. Mobile users accumulate rich experience of various services from mobile applications (e.g., iPhone apps, Google apps, etc.), which run on the devices and/or on remote servers via wireless networks. The rapid progress of mobile computing (MC) becomes a powerful trend in the development of IT technology as well as commerce...

...messages between mobile phones. SMS is generally available on all wireless networks globally and can reach virtually all of the 4 billion mobile phones in use today, making it the world’s most pervasive data communications technology. SMS messages can be typically sent and received within seconds throughout the world. And with more than 1 trillion SMS messages sent in 2009 in the US alone, volumes are widely forecast to continue their strong growth rate globally for years to come. SMS offers businesses a compelling communication channel for effective, two-way interaction with customers and prospects. It can extend brand awareness, create customer loyalty and deliver timely content or critical information, providing the immediacy and interactivity no other medium can offer. Attracted by the unique characteristics offered by SMS, businesses are increasingly utilizing the anytime, anywhere mobile channel as part of a multichannel communication strategy. Types of SMS Person-to-Person (P2P) and Application-to-Person (A2P) are the two categories of SMS messages. While P2P messages connect one individual to another, A2P messages are used by companies that want to interact with consumers via an SMS application. This document deals solely with A2P messaging. Standard Rate SMS Standard rate mobile messaging services (also known as bulk SMS) allow companies to send quantities of SMS quickly and efficiently.

...Mobile database A mobile database is either a stationary database that can be connected to by a mobile computing device ( eg smartphone and PDA) over a mobile network OR A database, which is actually stored by the mobile device this could be list of contacts, price information distance travelled or any other information Many applications require the ability to download information from an information repository and operate on this information even when out of range or disconnected. An EXAMPLE of this is your contacts and calendar on the phone. In this scenario a user would require access to update information from files in the home directories on a server or customer records from a database. This type of access and work load generated by such users is different from the traditional workloads seen in client-server system of today CONSIDERATION • Mobile users must be able to work without a network connection due to poor or non existent connections. A cache could be maintained to hold recently accessed data and transactions so that they are not lost due to connection failure. Users might not require access to truly live data, only recently modified data, and uploading of changing might be deferred until reconnected • Bandwidth must be conserved (a common requirement on wireless networks that charge per megabyte or data transferred) • Mobile computing devices tend to have slower CPU and limited battery life • Users with multiple device (eg. Smartphone and tablet) need...
