Mobile eHealth or mHealth broadly encompasses the
use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies as they are
integrated within increasingly mobile and wireless health care delivery
systems.The field broadly encompasses the use of mobile telecommunication and
multimedia technologies in health care delivery.
The term mHealth was coined by Professor Robert Istepanian as use of "emerging mobile communications and network technologies for healthcare".
A definition used at the 2010 mHealth Summit of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) was "the delivery of healthcare services via mobile communication devices".
mHealth (aka mobile health) is a term used for the
practice of medicine and public health, supported by mobile devices. The term is
most commonly used in reference to using mobile communication devices. The
mHealth field has emerged as a sub-segment of eHealth, the use of information
and communication technology (ICT). mHealth applications include the use of
mobile devices in collecting community and clinical
health data, delivery of healthcare information to practitioners, researchers,
and patients, real-time monitoring of patient vital signs, and direct provision
of care (via mobile telemedicine). ... More
Many of these technologies, while having some application to low- and middle-income nations, are developing primarily in high-income countries. However, with broad advocacy campaigns for free and open source software (FOSS), applications are beginning to be tailored for and make inroads in low- and middle-income countries. Some other mHealth technologies include:
1. Patient monitoring devices
2. Mobile telemedicine/telecare devices
3. MP3 players for mLearning
4. Laptop computers
5. Microcomputers
6. Data collection software
7. Mobile Operating System Technology ... More
1) CHM (Converged Health Management) will support capturing of health data from patients for one or more medical conditions by utilizing specialized, remotely available mobile biometric devices. The collected health data would then be analyzed and correlated with other available health data to suggest ways to improve management of the specific condition and overall health. In addition, informational messages would be sent with the intent to promote healthy habits by positively influencing patients’ behavior and choices.
2) VV (Virtual Visit) will provide a virtual face-to-face environment for delivery of health services by healthcare professionals, when an actual face-to-face interaction between patient and physician is not possible or is cost prohibitive ... Mor
1. Emergency response systems (e.g., road traffic accidents, emergency obstetric care)
2. Human resources coordination, management, and supervision
3. Mobile synchronous (voice) and asynchronous (SMS) telemedicine diagnostic and decision support to remote clinicians
4. Clinician-focused, evidence-based formulary, database and decision support information available at the point-of-care
5. Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Integrity & Patient Safety Systems (e.g. Sproxil and mPedigree)
6. Clinical care and remote patient monitoring
7. Health extension services
8. Health services monitoring and reporting
9. Health-related mLearning for the general pub
The global healthcare services market is forecast to reach $3 trillion by 2015, according to research from Global Industry Analysts. Investment in sectors such as home healthcare, healthcare IT and telehealth are expected to continue fuelling market expansion. Due to the world’s aging population, the demand for home healthcare is likely to continue climbing over the years to come.
The M2M mHealth Market Revenue will reach $138 billion by 2020
