Mobile health solutions are delivered using mobile phones and tablets.
These solutions involve the use of telecommunication and multimedia
technologies to deliver healthcare services. They are used to collect community
and clinical health data; offer information related to healthcare to
practitioners, researchers, and patients; and provide direct care. They also
provide wider access to healthcare systems in developing countries because some
of the population in those countries has no access to hospitals or proper
knowledge about the healthcare devices and applications available. These
solutions provide end-users with a better understanding and can help to improve
healthcare systems.
