  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."
