Abstract

Recent information and telecommunication technologies innovations offer many opportunities for health and wellness interventions to be deployed in non-traditional care settings. This paper considers some modes of applicability for which tablet computers would be particularly well suited, and recommends incorporating them appropriately into mainstream personal healthcare to support healthcare reform changes. These applications would potentially be applicable in a wide range of different healthcare environments and settings.
