Comment
Considering the iPhone is a consumer technology why not use it first to empower consumers taking control of their own health?

Also the limitations of the device (screen size/resolution etc) mean lots of professional functionality is impeded. As a result our Doctors have found best practice through the use of workstations to support patients through the patients own multimedia mobile device.
