Abstract

The SMS Public Asynchronous Messenger (SPAM), an ubicomp system is developed and deployed using rapid prototyping techniques and a user-centered design approach. The SPAM provides a lightweight alternative to the usual work place communication methods. SPAM enables asynchronous short-message-service messaging between remote SPAM displays and between SPAM displays and the mobiles phones of staff and patients. A phased-development approach is employed where each phase had a different primary objective and involved several prototyping iterations.
