RELATED WORK AND MOTIVATION
There are many studies and proposals to support the
integration of new technologies in hospitals. There is a wide
range of relevant studies such as approaches for telemedicine,
patient monitoring, location and identification services,
intelligent system for emergencies and clinic information
management among others [2].
Incorporation of new technologies in healthcare
environments has not been very effective because of the
difficulty of its handling and integration in this heterogeneous
scenario. In fact, a high percent of clinical staff is reticent to
modify their daily way of work even knowing the practical
benefits that these technological approaches offer. We have
seen the use of PDA or Tablet PC devices has not achieved the
expected results. In [3], Roy Want analyzed the gap between
computational advances in healthcare and their actual
applicability, and he asked if computers work efficiently in
hospital. He also argues that the Weiser approach had not
expected success. We can speak of a certain frustration degree
about it. However, innovative research lines such as
Ubiquitous Computing, Context-Awareness and Natural
Interaction can reduce that gap and help in the final user
acceptance
