- Smartphones particularly the iPhone and the multitude of applications that have been developed for users of the device is briefly described. The study investigates what makes Smartphones different from other more common Internet applications (via personal computer), and how these enhance the interactions the practice has with its patients while also increasing efficiency. U-Commerce is suggested as a theoretical framework that best explains the uniqueness of the iPhone. This article considers Smartphones (most notably the iPhone) as a device that can have a valuable impact on the medical practice, particularly from the perspective of the interaction that the practice has with its patients. Practice implications: A process is outlined for identifying apps within the medical practice, ensuring the applications take advantage of the iPhone's unique features, and contribute to the efficiency of the practice.

- To keep pace with consumer adoption of smart mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and the applications ('apps') developed for these devices, dental professionals should consider how this technology could be used to simultaneously improve both patient service experiences and dental practice management. Using U-Commerce as a theoretical lens, this article discusses the potential value of smart mobile technology to the dental practice context, with a particular focus on the unique and customisable capabilities of apps. To take full advantage of this technology, a process is outlined for identifying and designing bespoke dental apps that takes into account the unique advantages of these devices. Dental practices, with increasing financial and competitive pressures, may improve the efficiency and profitability of operations and better manage patients, employees and stakeholders by integrating smart mobile technology.
