In some working environments users experience a high level of mobility while requiring collaborating and coordinating their activities with colleagues involving the exchange and analysis of documents distributed in space or time. Medical workers stand out among others by the demands imposed by hospital work. These new forms of interaction pose new challenges for the design of pervasive computing environments aimed at seamlessly integrating heterogeneous devices. Based on workplace studies conducted in a hospital, we designed and implemented a mobile collaborative system aimed at supporting co-located collaboration, proximity-based application-sharing, and the remote control of heterogeneous devices. The results of a preliminary evaluation show that users perceive the services provided by the application to be useful and efficient, even though the manipulation of the remote display through the PDA was less efficient than with the keyboard and mouse.
