  text: 'A major challenge in modern data-centric medicine is the increasing amount
    of time-dependent data, which requires efficient user-friendly solutions for dealing
    with such data. To create an effective and efficient knowledge discovery process,
    it is important to support common data manipulation tasks by creating quick, responsive
    and intuitive interaction methods. In this paper we describe some methods for
    interactive longitudinal data visualization with focus on the usage of mobile
    multi-touch devices as interaction medium, based on our design and development
    experiences. We argue that when it comes to longitudinal data this device category
    offers remarkable additional interaction benefits compared to standard point-and-click
    desktop computer devices. An important advantage of multi-touch devices arises
    when interacting with particularly large longitudinal data sets: Complex, coupled
    interactions such as zooming into a region and scrolling around almost simultaneously
    is more easily achieved with the possibilities of a multi-touch device than compared
    to a regular mouse-based interaction device.'

  text: "The use of mobile computing is expanding dramatically in recent years and
    trends indicate that “the future is mobile”. Nowadays, mobile computing plays
    an increasingly important role in the biomedical domain, and particularly in hospitals.
    The benefits of using mobile devices in hospitals are no longer disputed and many
    applications for medical care are already available. Many studies have proven
    that mobile technologies can bring various benefits for enhancing information
    management in the hospital. But is mobility a solution for every problem?\r\n\r\nIn
    this paper, we will demonstrate that mobility is not always an advantage. On the
    basis of a field study at the pediatric surgery of a large University Hospital,
    we have learned within a two-year long mobile computing project, that mobile devices
    have indeed many disadvantages, particularly in stressful and hectic situations
    and we conclude that mobile computing is not always advantageous."
