Mobile Health: Telemedicine’s Latest Wave but This Time It’s for Real

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover The Digitization of Healthcare

Abstract

Telemedicine is no longer a new concept, but modern technology has changed how it can be practiced. In particular, mobile Health (mHealth) has created new approaches with wider reach and more effective interactions. The purpose of this chapter is not to make the case for mHealth. It has arrived whether we like it or not. Millions are already using health apps every minute. Instead, by taking diabetes as an example in chronic disease management, I explore the rise of mHealth, its development, opportunities for success, and the challenges raised.
