November 2009: Get Smart – Mobile Phone

MEGA invite you to
Mobile Monday
in Adelaide

Come and join us on Monday 16th November from 6pm to 8pm at The Brunswick Hotel, 207 Gilbert St, Adelaide SA 5000.

Maxwell Smart, the bumbling comic spy in the 1960s television series Get Smart, frequently used his ‘shoe phone’ to report his latest predicament to The Chief at CONTROL.

Now a Flinders University computer scientist has combined the latest telecommunications components to produce the real thing!

This months presenter is Dr. Paul Gardner-Stephen from the School of Computer Science, Engineering & Mathematics, Flinders University, Adelaide, Australia.

Paul’s doctoral research focused on creating time and space efficient genomic database and index formats.

The shoe phone project aims to create shoe phones inspired by the Get Smart television series that support remote patient care.

Hear Paul’s story of how the shoe phone is becoming a medical device!

This is the final Mobile Monday for 2009 – then we are back again in February 2010.

It should be a great evening so please come along and remember to bring your business cards.

Numbers are limited so please RSVP to Leonie O’Dea at rsvp@mobilemondayadelaide.net
