SMS text messaging can be used across all health departments, from providing appointment reminders to providing specific tailored information to patients. For example, SMS has been used in schemes to help smokers quit the habit. SMS reminders and tips are sent directly to the mobile phones of smokers who have signed up to the scheme to help to keep them on the straight and narrow. Encouraging words and tips are sent in messages for those who wish to completely stop smoking, and cigarette allocation reminders for those who are simply cutting down. Additional uses include SMS alerts to patients to remind them to take medication, managing staff and relief workers and contacting the deaf community.
