Abstract

A variety of communication problems is a common phenomenon in the current hospital setting. Physicians need a mobile context-aware communication system in their daily practice. Our approach, based on an initial study performed at the Oncology Department at the University Hospital of North Norway and an extensive collection of user needs according to CSCW and use case methodology, will develop a reliable communication system to help physicians accomplish their tasks.
