What is mHealth?: Questions to Consider
There is not a consensus on what mHealth is.
Questions to Consider:
1) What kind of connection does it have to have? Broadband? Wifi? Wired Internet?
2) What technology does it include? Cell phones? PDAs? Devices? Computers?
3) What’s the application? Clinical Data? Community Health? Personal Health?
4) What’s it part of? Telehealth? eHealth?

What is mHealth?: Broad Definition
All the definitions focus on mobile communications and healthcare.
Broader definitions seem to be gaining more steam.
“The integration of mobile technology, computing devices, and emerging delivery system capabilities into a patient-centered
model of care.”

Current Trends: Federal Support
•HITECH Act to spur the adoption of EHRs, HIEs, and other Health IT.
•Provisions in PPACA for telehealth and innovation in healthcare.
•Continued Presidential commitment to “the need to increase coverage of high speed wireless networks to 98 percent of all Americans within the next five years”: “This isn’t about faster Internet or fewer dropped calls. It’s about connecting every part of America to the digital age. It’s about a rural community in Iowa or Alabama where farmers and small business owners will be able to sell their products all over the world. It’s about a firefighter who can download the design of a burning building onto a handheld device; a student who can take classes with a digital textbook; or
a patient who can have face-to-face video chats with her doctor.”
- President Barack Obama 2011 State of the Union Address

Applications: Management - Diabetes
Link glucose meter readings to patient records electronically.
This link ensures that readings are recorded correctly and allows for physicians to passively monitor a patient’s blood glucose.
Pilot studies show that this kind of application is effective; indeed, it is correlated to a reduction of 5 points in blood glucose readings and a 1% reduction in HbA1c readings over a three-month period.
