mHealth: Leveraging the mobile industry for healthcare

- Mobile Health can offer solutions across the patient pathway, and can be as simple as reminders sent by text message or as complex as remote medical imaging
- Mobile Health can strengthen existing healthcare systems, such as emergency response, physician support, administration and disease surveillance
