Έχοντας προσωπική εμπειρία στην κατασκευή ασυρμάτων πληροφορικών συστημάτων για θέματα συνταγογραφήσεως και παρακολούθησης υγείας, θα ήθελα να προσθέσω ότι τέτοια συστήματα βοηθούν κατά πολύ την κατανόηση της κατάστασης υγείας των ασθενών αλλά και τη ανάπτυξη καλύτερων θεραπευτικών αγωγών. Δεν έχουν σκοπό να αντικαταστήσουν ιατρούς ή νοσοκόμους αλλά να τους κάνουν να εργάζονται πιό έξυπνα και πιο αποτελεσματικά.
