mHealth: Everything you need to know about mobile health

Nowadays, technology allows us to carry numerous healthcare functions on our phones, with the range of functions and apps growing every day. mHealth, or mobile health, represents this intersection of mobile technology and health care, offering promising advancements in how medical services are delivered and received.

BHH member GooApps® explains that key benefits of mHealth include the improvement of healthcare accessibility, the enhancement of patient engagement and self-management through apps and wearables, and the facilitation of remote monitoring and telehealth services. These benefits collectively contribute to more personalized and efficient patient care.

However, there are also challenges and limitations facing mHealth, such as concerns over data privacy and security, the need for interoperability among different systems and devices, and the regulatory hurdles associated with medical devices and health apps. It emphasizes the importance of overcoming these challenges to fully realize mHealth's potential.

Despite these challenges, companies like GooApps® are at the forefront of the mHealth movement, developing user-centric health apps that comply with stringent regulatory standards, demonstrating its commitment to quality and safety in digital health solutions.
