Description
Summary:In the past decade, tremendous developments have been made in mobile communicating technologies, such as fourth generation communication, satellite communication, and wireless network, which, when combined with healthcare, promoted the development of mobile health （mhealth）. Mobile health is defined by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society （HIMSS） as the use of small, portable com- puters or telecommunication equipments to meet the needs of consumers for health care or health infor- mation services. It is a combination of the biomedical sensor technology, mobile computing technology and networking technology. The surge in mobile commu- nication technologies has transformed the mode and quality of clinical research and healthcare on a global scale. Consequently, mhealth is the new edge on health- care innovation and heralds the arrival of new era of healthcare.
