Smartphones have become increasingly popular among every segment of the population. Caregivers do not want to miss out on this evolution and express interest in using mobile devices to perform their everyday care. This tendency has been well understood by many software providers who have produced many medical applications for smartphones. Before going a step further and developing tools to manage Clinical Information System data on handheld devices, it is wise to ask ourselves whether these new tools are well adapted to the healthcare environment. Indeed, some studies have raised concerns regarding the efficiency of these handheld devices to input medical data, especially with the induced errors. In this paper, we look to adopt a rigorous approach to acquire evidence about these concerns through a prospective study. In order to get this evidence, the study compares several input interfaces in the context of recording vital signs on mobile devices. We would like to discover not only which interface is the most efficient, but also which one is the least prone to errors.
智能手机在各个人口群体中越来越受欢迎。护理人员不想错过这一发展趋势，并表达了使用移动设备进行日常护理的兴趣。许多软件提供商已经很好地理解了这种趋势，他们为智能手机开发了许多医疗应用程序。在进一步开发用于在手持设备上管理临床信息系统数据的工具之前，明智的做法是问问自己这些新工具是否很好地适应了医疗环境。事实上，一些研究对这些手持设备输入医疗数据的效率提出了担忧，尤其是其引发的错误。在本文中，我们希望通过一项前瞻性研究采用一种严谨的方法来获取有关这些担忧的证据。为了获得这一证据，该研究在移动设备上记录生命体征的背景下比较了几种输入界面。我们不仅想发现哪个界面效率最高，还想发现哪个界面最不容易出错。
