11. Definitions – Mobile Computing
What is mobile computing?
Computing that is not obstructed while the location of it changes
Mobile computing = ?
Mobile computing draws from
Wireless communications and networking
Ability to communicate via wireless links
Ubiquitous and pervasive computing
Ability to provide computing anywhere and anytime (ubiquitous), usually in a seamless manner, potentially not perceived (pervasive)

12. Mobile Computing – Examples
Mobile Medicine
911 Call and dispatch
Ambulance arrives/departs
Closest hospital
Access patient records
Send vital signs
Update patient records
Page hospital personnel
Order medical supplies

13. Mobile Computing – Examples
Party on Friday
Update Smart Phone’s calendar with guests names.
Make a note to order food from Dinner-on-Wheels.
Update shopping list based on the guests drinking preferences.
Don’t forget to swipe that last can of beer’s UPS label.
The shopping list is always up-to-date.
AutoPC detects a near Supermarket that advertises sales.
It accesses the shopping list and your calendar on the Smart Phone.
It informs you the soda and beer are on sale, and reminds you. that your next appointment is in 1 hour.
There is enough time based on the latest traffic report. 13

14. Definitions – Health What is health?
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO)
