mHealth & Wellness Use Cases

The use of mobile technology to support the practice of medicine and public health, otherwise known as mHealth or mobile health, is growing all over the world. However this is driven by different motivations. In developing countries, poor and inconsistent healthcare delivery infrastructure and the challenge to manage prevalent communicable diseases increases reliance on mHealth (e.g. assist diagnosis, community health worker motivation and performance, data management, patient counselling, stock out alert, surveillance and training). Whereas in developed countries, mHealth will be a key factor to help address escalating healthcare costs associated with an increasing incidence of chronic diseases and an aging population.
