Our own experience with our sms applications has been dismal. Unless
the specific device is supplied (Android, iPhone, Java enabled phone),
the health workers will only have, at the minimum, an sms capable
device.
Our goal was to make the application fit the health workers' workflow
-- taking advantage of their existing device (which is a natural
extension of their persona that they pull out once in a while even for
personal messages) rather than add another device which could add an
overhead to their gadget responsibility.
Security, as has been mentioned, is still an issue. As to which EMR
they insert to, it's fairly easy to parse sms data to any EMR as long
as the EMR has found traction already.
Our current research challenge is how to consistently place the
patient identifier in every sms message. Does anyone have models for
this?

In 1999-2000 I was involved in a project where some of the sales team's
interest was in m-commerce.
I now carry an iPhone, and it might be just about getting up to
usability for some things, as Nielsen says.
Given the main developed function of a mobile phone, I wonder if we
should be looking at the Sphinx work from Carnegie-Mellon university, in
speech recognition and speech command interfaces, and the converse to
it, Festival from there and Edinburgh university, for voice generation.
