System and a method for accessing and updating information stored in a central location by a remote worker

Abstract

Information such as patient medical notes, criminal/parole/probationary notes and company information is often stored a central location. When workers such as doctors, health visitors, social workers, police, probation officers and salespersons are working remotely from that central location accessing and updating the relevant information is often quite difficult. Thus the present invention provides a system and method for accessing and updating information stored in a central location by a remote worker, said system comprising: a central store for storing information; and a mobile telephone for use by said remote worker to interrogate and update said store. The mobile phone may includes a TTS system and/or ASR system for facilitating the information being accessed and updated.
