The Doctor's PDA & Smartphone Handbook

The Doctor's PDA & Smartphone Handbook aims to introduce readers to the basics of PDAs and the first few chapters demonstrate how the devices are used and how effective they can be in day-to-day clinical care and in training activities. Communication and sharing data and clinical information is enhanced if the full team is equipped with PDAs, and later chapters discuss more advanced uses and issues that should be considered if planning to equip the whole team. The text is accompanied by teaching videos and vignettes illustrating how teaching points covered in each chapter can be applied to realistic scenarios.

The book is written by one of the world's leading experts on the clinical uses of mobile computing, Dr. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli. He wrote the world's first textbook on the topic, Handheld Computers for Doctors, and is now a researcher in the USA. The online videos are by Dr. Chris Paton, Director of New Media New Medicine and creator of some of the world's leading websites for clinical education. Both of them run the annual handheld computer workshop at the Royal Society of Medicine.
