Largest Mobile Initiative for a U.S. Medical School Wayne State University's School of Medicine has begun a mobile computing project it says is the largest and most comprehensive ever planned by a U.S. medical school. The school has signed a contract with Ann Arbor, Mich.-based CampusMobility Inc. to build the network, which will supply medical students and staff with mobile devices, educational and healthcare software, and wireless infrastructure. The technology will enable problem-solving exercises and the collection of patient encounter information during clinical internships. "The ability to interact with students in real time is critical in ensuring students possess the knowledge and skills necessary to begin independent patient care," said professor Matt Jackson, Ph.D., in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology.
