In this paper, we describe our attempt to find a querying scheme that produces fast, reliable, accurate data from mobile users while not annoying them. Users from around the world received multiple queries requesting personal information. We measured response rate and response time, user satisfaction, and truthfulness. We found no differences in us...

Nowadays use of mobile devices has become popular and due to this the frequency of data transmission among the mobile users is increasing. Providing security to the data transmission is important. Security to the data transmission can be provided by encryption of data to be transmitted. These encryption techniques do not consider the location and t...

... At the same time, the caller is given feedback about the health care worker's availability, thereby making it possible for the caller to force through an emergency call or to forward the call to another available health care worker at the same level. The system is based on ideas from earlier studies on interruptions in combination with ideas from Solvoll (2013) [10]. A first version of the system is ready and has been tested in lab settings with physicians/nurses as test users. ...
... The tests were performed as scenarios derived from real situations. The feedback was mostly positive, and the input was used to improve and further develop the system, moving from prototype to production [10]. A more detailed description of the system, including figures that itemise the functionality, architecture, interruption reduction and compatibility with other existing systems can also be found in Solvoll (2013) [10]. ...

This project evaluates a context aware communication system designed for use in hospitals. This communication system aims to increase and improve the communication and information exchange between nurses, between nurses and physicians, and between physicians. In this paper, we focus on nurse-to-nurse communication. Nurses in the oncology department at the University Hospital of North Norway tested the system. The aim of this field study is to investigate the expectations, consequences and experiences of using the phone system in a clinical setting. The study uses a multi-method research approach including both quantitative and qualitative data. We use a before-and-after study design, with data from questionnaires, interviews and logs as well as step count measurements. In this paper, we describes the phone system and how it can be used. We also report on the nurses' expectations and presents some preliminary findings on system usage and the before-and-after step count assessment.
... To solve some of the challenges described above, an intelligent, efficient and context sensitive communication system called CallMeSmart has been developed. This phone system has been fully described elsewhere [13]. CallMeSmart is a mobile phone system designed for use in hospitals. ...
... A detailed technical description of the phone system can be found in Solvoll [13]. To log on to the phone system, users can use their ordinary username and password from the hospital information system. ...

Nurses often have stressful work environments. This paper presents a study that investigates if and how the intelligent phone communication system CallMeSmart, which is designed for use in hospitals, affects and improves the communication and information flow among nurses. We collected the empirical material through a multi-method research approach using both quantitative and qualitative data. The data were from phone logs, six individual face-to-face interviews, a focus group interview and informal discussions. We categorised the empirical data into two main groups. One group was for the benefits the nurses experienced. The nurses liked the dedicated phone system , and they gave many examples of how the system could facilitate communication and information flow in their work practice. The second group was for the negative experiences, and it included problems the nurses experienced while using the technology. The phone log material showed the usage of the system. Our conclusion is that this dedicated phone system has great potential in facilitating hospital communication. However , the condition to realise this potential is that the problems that were registered should be resolved.
