mHealth (Mobile Health)
mHealth, or Mobile Health, refers to the utilization of mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, and wearable technologies, along with wireless communication networks, to enhance healthcare delivery and patient engagement. It encompasses a broad range of applications, including remote monitoring of patient health conditions, real-time communication between patients and healthcare providers, delivery of medical care through telemedicine, and dissemination of health-related information. mHealth tools can track vital signs, manage chronic diseases, provide medication reminders, and support healthy lifestyle choices. By enabling access to healthcare services outside of traditional clinical settings, mHealth improves patient outcomes, increases efficiency, and reduces healthcare costs. It also empowers patients with real-time data and personalized care, fostering more proactive and informed healthcare decisions.
