Mobile phone - as a means of remote medical diagnosis

The capacity of mobile phones are growing every year - sooner if they could only make calls and send messages, but now these devices can easily carry out the functions of the player, camera, camcorder, navigator, internet terminals, etc. American doctors have decided to use the services of cell phones for remote diagnosis of patients.

For this mobile phone is connected to Bluetooth protocol to a special device which controls the parameters of the cardiac patient. Further, these data are transmitted through the cellular network doctors, which thus can remotely control all the necessary parameters. This method allows you to quickly respond to any changes, not restricting the freedom of the patient. This project was carried out with the direct involvement of the operator AT & T, which helped the company Mednet.

Preview of GSM/UMTS-smartphone Nokia E55

Mobile-review have posted their preview of the Nokia E55. Here is their final impression.

Call quality was never an issue with the E55, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud; we also found the E55’s vibro alert was average strength-wise.

The E55 is set to arrive in May at a price point of 265 Euro (before taxes and subsidies). On balance, it’s a fine device that complements the music-minded Nokia 5630 XpressMusic and comes with a couple of metallic accents, as well as some Eseries-specific software features.

The main thing going for the Nokia E55 is its battery time – for some this will be a very compelling argument, but personally I find it to be a very niche offering that won’t be very popular primarily because of the competition it faces inside Nokia’s portfolio.

According to a recent study commissioned by Sprint, the number of texters in the 50-64 year-old range has grown by more than 50 percent since 2006, mostly driven by parents who have adopted texting to stay connected to their children.

Business Customers Can Ring Their Praises To Callers

Verizon Wireless Customers Can Leverage Professionally Produced Ringback Tones to Tout Brand Message to Callers

From CTIA WIRELESS 2009®, Verizon Wireless, the nation’s leading wireless service provider, announced the exclusive availability of Business Ringback Tones to let organizations replace the generic ring callers hear when contacting a wireless business number with a customized message.

Business Ringback Tones provide information specific to the business and can convey information about a company’s products, services or current promotions. Verizon Wireless also provides access to seasoned advertising veterans for scriptwriting and experienced voiceover artists in professional recording studios to assist businesses in producing the customized tones. Businesses can choose to use these professional services to customize the track and reflect the unique brand of the company or provide their own professionally produced track.

“Business Ringback Tones are an inexpensive way to advertise a product or service, communicate key values, or answer frequently asked questions,” said Rob Miller, vice president of marketing for Verizon Wireless. “They can also help businesses create a polished professional image because the message is specific to the company. The tones can communicate everything from product benefits to promotions, providing customers with helpful information before their calls are even answered.”

Corporate account administrators who manage the business’ wireless service can upload and manage 30-second tones on employee phones via the online Ringback Tone Manager. They can also create a custom Jukebox that will rotate messages so callers hear different tones each time they call. In addition to five active tones, businesses can store as many Business Ringback Tones as needed for future use or in anticipation of upcoming promotional campaigns.

Businesses can also use the Ringback Tone Manager to assign tones to different sets of employees, group certain wireless numbers to have the same tones, and let employees know of changes to the tone profile through SMS messages. Corporate account administrators can also extend invitations to utilize the service by sending text messages to employees that do not have corporate-liable lines.

Pricing and Subscription Information

Business Ringback Tones are available for $1.99 per month per line. Business Ringback Tones never expire, so businesses can keep them on file in the Ringback Tones Manager.

Businesses can use professional services from I-Mobile Marketing to create their Business Ringback Tones for a one-time charge of $299.00 per tone. This fee is for the complete development of the tone, including the script, one script rewrite, two audio recording options and two rounds of audio track revisions. Background music is also included. Additional script rewrites incur a fee of $30.00 per script, and extra audio rerecording is available for $85.00 per track.
