Assignment 3: Mobile Computing and Social Networking 
Due Week 7 and worth 75 points 
Mobile computing has dramatically changed how information is accessed and shared. Wireless networking has been an enabler of mobile computing. One profession that mobile computing has had a big impact on is health care management. Patients are now able to monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure, glucose levels, etc. without having to periodically visit a doctor’s office or hospital. There are devices such as the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor that works with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad to record, track, and graph a patient’s blood pressure. There are other devices that can measure blood glucose levels, oxygen levels, heart rate, etc. and use an iPhone to send the results to a clinical server. Doctors and caregivers are then able to access the data on the clinical server. According to the American College of Gastroenterology, social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are used as powerful platforms to deliver and receive health care information. Patients and caregivers are increasingly going online to connect and share experiences with others with similar medical issues or concerns Patients are able to take advantage of social networks to do more than just share pictures and tweets. Write a four to five (4-5) page paper in which you:

1. Compare and contrast monitoring of patient vital signs using mobile computing technology to in-patient visits to the doctor’s office or hospital.
2. Analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using mobile computing technology to monitor patients.
3. Assess the security concerns with regard to the transmission of personal medical information over wireless networks.
4. Assess the use of social networking for group support for patients with similar medical concerns.  
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Describe the use of network management, Web, wireless, and mobility technologies.

Assignment 1: LASA 2: Conducting and Analyzing Statistical Tests

Your written presentation to the following problem situation should be a formal academic presentation wherein APA guidelines apply.  

A study wants to examine the relationship between student anxiety for an exam and the number of hours studied. The data is as follows:

1. Why is a correlation the most appropriate statistic?
2. What is the null and alternate hypothesis?
3. What is the correlation between student anxiety scores and number of study hours? Select alpha and interpret your findings. Make sure to note whether it is significant or not and what the effect size is.
4. How would you interpret this?
5. What is the probability of a type I error? What does this mean?
6. How would you use this same information but set it up in a way that allows you to conduct a t-test? An ANOVA?

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:

In the past decade, the human resources (HR) function gained strategic positioning within organizations as the need for professional competencies in managing human talent became recognized. Within the field of HR, disciplines, also called specialties, provide critical skills to the organization. These disciplines/specialties include training and development, recruiting, compensation, benefits, labor relations, employee and organizational development, etc.

1. For this assignment you will need to identify an HR discipline that interests you and/or closely aligns with your current or future career goals. For example, you may already be working in training and development or that discipline may align with your future career goals or, you may be in management and want to learn more about the recruiting process because you are involved with hiring new candidates. After you have identified your HR discipline of interest, you will need to explore and describe your chosen discipline in your discussion board response. Below are some links to visit to help with your research and exploration:

   To learn more about where to explore and research your chosen discipline, please watch the following tutorial: http://breeze.careeredonline.com/p19833573/

   Now that you have watched this tutorial, you should have a better idea about how to research career fields within Human Resources that are of interest to you. Below you will find links, some require a paid membership WHICH IS NOT CLASS REQUIREMENT, that will further define for you the parameters of certain HR specialties. These are optional, however they are an excellent resource so consider using them to help answer the course questions.
