Design and Evaluation of Near Field Communication (NFC) Technology Based Solutions for mHealth Challenges

  • Chapter
Mobile Health

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Bio-/Neuroinformatics ((SSBN,volume 5))

Abstract

Today’s healthcare systems are facing major challenges generated by the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Telehealth services appear as promising approaches to attenuate those challenges by changing the way of delivering healthcare services. Telehealth is based on the inclusion of the last unutilized resource that has to be brought into the process of healthcare, the patient him/herself [1].
