Description In many health care situations, powerful mobile tools may help to make decisions and
provide support for continuous education and training. They can be useful in emergency
conditions and for the supervised application of protocols and procedures. To this end,
content models and formats with semantic and intelligence have more flexibility to provide
medical personnel (both in off-line and on-line conditions) with more powerful tools than
those currently on the market. In this paper, we are presenting Mobile Medicine solution,
which exploits a collection of semantic computing technologies together with intelligent
content model and tools to provide innovative services for medical personnel. Most of the
activities of semantic computing are performed on the back office on a cloud computing
architecture for: clustering, recommendations, intelligent content production and adaptation.
The mobile devices have been endowed with a content organizer to collect local data, provide
local suggestions, while supporting taxonomical searches and local queries on PDA and
iPhone. The proposed solution is under usage at the main hospital in Florence. The smart
content has been produced by medical personnel, with the adoption of the new ADF-Design
authoring tool, which produces content in MPEG-21 format. The mobile content distribution
service is integrated with a collaborative networking portal, for discussion on procedures
and content, thus suggestions are provided on both PC and Mobiles (PDA and iPhone).
