Mobile e-Health

摘要

The healthcare industry is undergoing a revolution. As medicine continues to specialize and grow more complex, healthcare providers endeavor to find ways to serve their patients more effectively Since specialists tend to congregate in larger cities, allowances are needed for patients with disabilities, elderly patients, and patients who may not have the financial means to travel long distances for care. Mobile eHealth addresses the ways in which we can use technology to improve health outcomes, as well as "drawing on expertise in the field to pause and reflect on the social, philosophical and human issues surrounding the accelerated development of mobile eHealth, telehealth and abundance of health and well-being apps" (p. 11).
