View Original AbstractThis study evaluated mobile phone interference with hospital medical equipment, helping establish evidence-based policies for safe phone use in healthcare settings.
Plain English Summary
Finnish researchers tested whether mobile phones interfere with medical equipment in hospital settings by measuring radiofrequency emissions from different phone types. The study examined potential electromagnetic interference with various medical devices to determine safe usage protocols. This research addresses a critical safety concern for hospitals where both mobile communication and sensitive medical equipment must coexist.
Study Details
This research evaluated possibilities to use different types of mobile telephones in the hospital environment by testing the disturbances in medical equipment caused by radiofrequency fields emitted by the phones.
The research was carried out by the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health (FIOH) in cooperation w...
