The general state of the world presently paints a clear picture of the largest economies having increased demand on healthcare. The traditional model of direct healthcare delivery in many countries has seen a rise in demand and is believed to be unsustainable. Times like these open the door for opportunities to innovate through mHealth models and take clinical leadership to trial new approaches which harness technology, providing added value to the available healthcare spending.

 

The mhealth trend leverages off consumer-centric mobile phones and medical devices for management of long-term conditions in patient homes. 

 

mHealth presents opportunities for direct cost savings to the health system in terms of reducing emergency care. This applies to patients with long term chronic conditions such as diabetes, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) agreeing to allow a healthcare professional to monitor them from a distance.
