How Can Text Messaging Change the Hospitality Industry?

While waiting at the airport for your rental car, you get a notification on your cell phone. It's a text from your hotel, asking if you would like a drink or food from room service upon your arrival. It may sound like a futuristic luxury, but the fact of the matter is that scenarios like this are not that far off. Text messaging offers a myriad of ways to boost the hospitality industry, and hotels are bound to take note sooner rather than later. SMS is an ideal platform for the hospitality industry. A large reason why is its speed; texting allows a guest to issue a request or ask a question very quickly, and can relay the information to hotel staff instantly.

Could Texting Save Clinical Trial Recruitment?

Getting a drug on the market is no easy feat; an enormous amount of research, development, and trials are only quantitative markers of the process a new medication must undergo before gaining the clear for distribution by healthcare professionals. One would hope that, at the least, a research team that has advanced a drug to clinical trials wouldn't have to fret over putting together the trial, but a common difficulty in gathering participants for clinical trials has made this far from the reality for many medical researchers. However, texting may offer a solution. At first glance, it may not make much sense that rounding up participants for research trials would present such an obstacle.

The Command Line / ASCII - Text API is one of several ways that PageGate can accept incoming messages:

The Command Line ASCII Text API is capable of monitoring a directory or a series of directories on the local hard drive or across the network, for an ASCII/text file output. The interface also provides a command line interface (executable) for other applications to use. The messages can then be formatted or directed to mobile phones or wireless devices. The Text API allows many 'off the shelf' and custom applications, such as network monitoring applications, computer aided dispatch applications, building control software and many others, to deliver messages when specified events occur or thresholds are met.

For Diabetics, Texting Program Improves Health

When living with diabetes, diligent self-care is essential, and at times overwhelming. The demands of self-awareness and self-care can be exhausting, or simply easy to forget about at times, but a lapse can be dangerous for diabetics. In an effort to make keeping on top of the daily responsibilities of diabetes easier, researchers have begun to explore how texting might be used to lighten this load and improve the health of diabetics. Researchers at the University of Chicago Medicine have launched a program called CareSmarts that aims to help those living with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes keep on top of their daily responsibilities to stay healthy. CareSmarts relies on texting to do this, as it is an instant, convenient, and widely popular medium of communication that is gaining even more footing across age groups.

How Mobile Technology Is Fighting the Spread of Disease

Mobile technology is not new to health developments--cell phones have been put to task in an impressive range of technologies to improve public health. An important and relevant instance of this approach is the use of texting to address disease epidemics. This happens in a great variety of ways, including using SMS and related mobile technology to track diseases, and to encourage patients and doctors to take protective measures against rapidly spreading diseases. A powerful example is Alerta DISAMAR, a project under the United Nations-Vodafone Foundation that uses text messaging to track the spread of infectious diseases as well as to create a valuable store of information for epidemiologists.

How Texting Can Keep You Safe in Severe Weather

Most of us can recall a time when we wished we'd planned a little better during a big storm. After all, bad weather is an unavoidable fact of life, and all we can do when severe weather is expected is plan accordingly to stay warm, dry, and safe. Believe it or not, text messaging can help you do that: SMS weather alerts are perhaps the most powerful and effective tool to stay in the know, and therefore to plan right, for severe weather. Text message weather warnings take advantage of the immediacy of SMS. During an inclement weather situation, it is best to be in the know as soon as possible.

The Health Implications of Texting

When we think of texting, we tend to envision a purely social medium: first to come to mind is often the image of teenagers firing off messages bereft with acronyms. While texting is an enormously popular social medium and has played a key role in shaping communication, it plays other significant roles in our lives. In fact, texting may have a variety of surprising implications for the world of health and medicine. A major way texting may be applied to the health sphere is as a means of reminding people to take their medication. The Health Implications of Texting

Web API - Web Server and CGI Interface - GetWeb

Send text messages via webpages. The PageGate Web API allows clients to dispatch messages from a webpage on their webserver. PageGate's web interface supports many types of web pages including single, group, multi-page, drop down lists and ad-hoc type web pages. The web pages can be set up using templates. The Web Interface uses a CGI script to allow any Windows based web server to accept information entered on a web page and send it to PageGate. PageGate then sends the message out via text message. Web Developers can use the Web Server Interface to send messages to PageGate from their webpages (HTML, ASP, JavaScript, Java, etc.).   The CGI can be used with either a POST or GET method. The POST method can be used by creating a form on your webpage. Information submitted in the form can be sent out as a text message. The GET method is more popular with scripting languages such as JavaScript and Java.  It allows the CGI to be called with a command similar to one that could be entered into a browser's URL field. The Web interface can also be used to enable PageGate to receive notifications from applications running on different platforms. Web API - Web Server and CGI Interface - GetWeb

Yet we'd surely rather avoid the stress and hassle of a missed appointment. With the popularity of SMS, this may be quite easily done. Many of us have tried leaving ourselves notes or setting alarms as reminders of appointments and meetings, with varying degrees of efficacy, but what about reminder texts?
