Abstract
The haematology laboratory provides an important service to clinical areas in terms of analysing blood samples for disease diagnosis, monitoring, and screening. Communication of urgent results is of paramount importance for effective healthcare management and verbal communication of results is often required to relay urgent information or life threatening results to a clinician. As mobile phones have progressed beyond the capability of voice transmission to now incorporate cameras, multimedia messaging, and email, the possibility to expand its use in haematology has diversified. Challenges to the haematology laboratory may present in low income healthcare environments or rural areas with limited resources and research has been focused on addressing these challenges. Mobile application technology for smartphones has opened up the potential for increased development of medical applications which could assist communication, diagnosis, and education within the field of haematology.
