The impact of mobile platforms in obstetrics

Abstract

Mobile platforms are having an increasing impact in the way we relate with other people and with organizations from different areas. In obstetric practice, the interaction between human and computer provides to healthcare professionals ubiquitous access to varied information about patients, offering tools that facilitate a professional monitoring service to pregnant women and may prove to be very useful for the proper functioning of the service. In this article the authors outline the tasks and problems that health professionals deal with daily and present a solution based on the interaction with mobile platforms.
