Mobile phones, in combination with a computer locator system, can improve the response times of emergency medical services by allowing quicker contact with ambulances. Text messages have also been used to improve treatment times by allowing medical staff to communicate instructions. Mobile phone cameras combined with microscopes can be used to capture and transmit medical images over long distances, potentially improving diagnosis and treatment in areas without access to specialized doctors.
