Mayo needs to work with companies that already provide quality information to physicians and other healthcare providers on mobile platforms. The idea is not to create yet another App for the iPhone. Companies like Skyscape have been publishing quality information for the healthcare. Android, iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Palm Pre…all of these platforms need to be covered. Also you need to consider the full healthcare provider spectrum along with the patients. I like what Skyscape has been doing with publishers, societies – why couldn’t they partner with Mayo, Cleveland Clinic, UCSF, etc.?

I don’t get it…..why not immediately start texting your Patients their appointment reminders. 98% of all cell phones in America can receive a simple Text reminder via SMS. These appointment reminders are personalized, transactional, and can greatly decrease the NO SHOW patient. They cost pennies to send (vs. the post card at .40 or the voice call at .50), and everyone is walking around with a cell phone on their hip! Even in their home (62% of Americas carry their cell phone from room to room while home!), AND, the average text message is read within 4 minutes!! mobileStorm has what Mayo Clinic needs today!

It should not be a surprise that the Mayo Clinic is a leader and is looking for what they have to do, before the customers are presenting their “needs”. No one of us had the need for the functionalities that the mobile phone has nowadays. I really enjoy the definition that was given: “Life management tool”. Great way to look ahead, conceptualized what is already going on. The smart phones are already being used by individuals of all the ages and all the socioeconomic levels. The speed of the change and the adoption of this “essential” device should make it the perfect vehicle for the patients and their physicians to interact. What should be included and what should not be part of the mobile life is an entirely different discussion. But for sure that we can already envision some of the benefits: Educational snapshots for chronic conditions, follow up of different sorts in order to increase the patient adherence to medical treatments and thus, reducing the cost of health care.

Again, congratulations to the thinkers and conceptualizers of the Mayo Clinic, the future is here already.
