  • Mobile health, or mHealth for short, uses mobile technologies for health research and healthcare delivery
  • a mobile optimized Web site, accessible from any platform, including basic flip phones, iPhones, and Androids. That's just one of the concrete ways we are trying to bring medical information to the public.
  • a microscope not much bigger than a quarter that doesn't require a lens and can be connected to a cell phone to transmit high quality images of cells—information that would normally be very hard to acquire. It comes from UCLA and is being tested for its application to assess infectious disease—HIV in this case. It transmits images to a remote computer that can automatically interpret them. It's highly valuable in following the course of infected individuals who are far from the nearest medical center.

    Mobile technology is already bringing healthcare information to the masses via the MedlinePlus mobile site easily accessed on one's cell phone. More advances on the horizon mean more healthcare access and quicker availability of information.

    I think this is a really interesting poem and a unique way of looking at the interaction between man and machines. As I've discussed in other posts, the sci-fi world has countless books that revolve around the theme of 'the rise of the machines' against the humans who created them. This poem takes a different approach and assumes that we coexist together in peace and harmony. Of course, the phrase, 'machines of loving grace' is an oxymoron because machines cannot have truly have emotions. As Spock would say, "Fascinating."
