As we increasingly integrate smartphones into our lives, we don\u2019t need to look any further than at our screens to keep our health in check. In this context, mobile health solutions can efficiently support the medical community in providing clinical preventive services to patients across all geographies.<\/p>\n<p>The concept of mHealth applies to the integration of mobile connectivity, <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/internet-of-things\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wearable devices, and technologies<\/a> for collecting and monitoring health-critical data and physiological signals. Patients use mobile health solutions to track their vitals, create health-related alerts and reminders, receive dietary and fitness recommendations, and stick to their medication routines. In the long term, mHealth apps allow users to record health habits over time and identify patterns and risk behaviors, which makes them highly applicable to the prevention of chronic conditions.<\/p>\n<p>By offering more accessible and affordable healthcare, the technology is expected to transform centralized, reactive healthcare into personalized, proactive, and patient-centric health services. This makes it a particularly bright prospect for developing countries: through the adoption of cross-border mHealth solutions, they can radically enhance the performance and sustainability of their healthcare systems, reaching out to the most under-served regions and populations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/digital-single-market\/en\/mhealth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> over 100,000 mHealth<\/a> apps available on the global market.<\/li>\n<li>By 2025, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketsandmarkets.com\/PressReleases\/mhealth-apps-and-solutions.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> the mobile app market is projected to be worth over $216 billion<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>According to research, more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41746-019-0206-x\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">50 million people worldwide<\/a> use app-based symptom checkers to evaluate their condition.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/view\/journals\/dx\/5\/3\/article-p95.xml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One study of mobile symptom checkers<\/a> found that their rate of appropriate triage advice in emergent cases was 80%; another, non-peer-reviewed, article concluded that a particular app gave better triage advice than a human doctor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-4.jpg\" alt=\"mHealth: Unlocking the Potential of Preventive Healthcare\" width=\"770\" height=\"699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-4.jpg 770w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-4-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-4-768x697.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>mHealth pros and cons<\/h2>\n<p>mHealth solutions markedly increase the efficacy and convenience of care for patients and healthcare providers, promising to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>enhance the speed and accuracy of diagnosis<\/li>\n<li>provide personalized treatment regimes<\/li>\n<li>educate patients about their condition and preventive measures they can take<\/li>\n<li>improve access to some therapies<\/li>\n<li>reduce medical errors<\/li>\n<li>boost medication adherence<\/li>\n<li>increase the efficiency of institutional workflows<\/li>\n<li>optimize access to healthcare, especially in under-served, remote, and rural areas<\/li>\n<li>decrease the costs of treatment and care<\/li>\n<li>reduce waste and supply costs for healthcare providers<\/li>\n<li>free up doctors\u2019 time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However, the path to mHealth incorporation into clinical care is fraught with challenges. Some of the most common obstacles that may hinder effective use of mHealth solutions are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>lack of standardization and compatibility<\/li>\n<li>reliance on technology (connectivity, smart devices)<\/li>\n<li>varying levels of accuracy across different solutions<\/li>\n<li>data protection and privacy concerns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Common mobile health applications<\/h2>\n<p>Mobile health (mHealth) apps are becoming an increasingly powerful tool for patients to protect their health over the long term. The full scope of the clinical value of mHealth solutions is still being scrutinized; however, evidence already exists that corroborates the huge potential of the technology in the following domains.<\/p>\n<h3>Remote health monitoring<\/h3>\n<p>Remote health monitoring (or remote patient monitoring, RPM) utilizes health monitoring devices and mobile phones to monitor and manage a patient\u2019s health outside of the medical setting. RPM devices collect vital health information, such as heart rate, blood pressure, sleep quality, etc. and transmit it to healthcare professionals, enabling them to manage their patients\u2019 health remotely.<\/p>\n<p>Common examples of RPM applications include mobile apps that monitor insulin levels in diabetes patients and alert physicians of spikes in readings, or wearable patches that track ECG data for high-risk cardiovascular patients.<\/p>\n<h3>Diagnostic and treatment support<\/h3>\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/healthcare-software-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">telehealth solutions<\/a> provide a preliminary assessment of a patient\u2019s condition to perform a pre-appointment diagnosis and triage. They help mitigate the cost and travel time for patients living in remote areas, and alert providers to deliver immediate medical advice and support in emergency cases.<\/p>\n<p>An interesting example comes from Singapore, where a mobile app has been developed to make an initial assessment of chronic wounds based on photos taken by the patient and send the preliminary diagnostics to the patient\u2019s physician.<\/p>\n<h3>Disease and epidemic outbreak tracking<\/h3>\n<p>Combined with connected diagnostic devices, mobile applications can collect data from multiple sources to detect and monitor outbreaks and better target medical resources. This interesting application of mHealth solutions helps policymakers and health providers contain the spread of epidemics through mobile app-based surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently seen how mobile surveillance has proven instrumental in China\u2019s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this case was by no means unprecedented. Mobile phone applications had been used before for early detection and strategic containment of avian flu, TB, and malaria.<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4943139\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Senegalese authorities<\/a> leveraged cell phones to educate millions of citizens about Ebola virus prevention and control in a massive awareness campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Medication management<\/h3>\n<p>Mobile health apps find broad application in medication management, allowing elderly patients, the chronically ill, and persons with decreased mobility to pick up and renew prescriptions, keep track of their medication intake, and set up reminders to observe their medication routine.<\/p>\n<p>By developing mHealth apps and making them available to patients, healthcare providers and public health organizations can boost medication adherence and alleviate the results of skipping or confusing doses. mHealth solutions also present opportunities in the clinical trial market, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pharmavoice.com\/article\/clinical-services-0615\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">estimated at $64 billion<\/a>. By providing a convenient, fast, and secure way to remotely collect patient data in real time, these mobile applications can greatly improve trial participation and efficiency.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25509 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-3.jpg\" alt=\"mHealth: Unlocking the Potential of Preventive Healthcare\" width=\"770\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-3.jpg 770w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-3-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/graph-3-768x449.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Network connectivity and preventive healthcare<\/h2>\n<p>Fitness trackers, smart watches, patient monitoring equipment, and other mHealth devices cannot function on their own. To provide a complete, reliable image of a patient\u2019s condition and ensure timely response, they must be trusted to stay connected for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n<h3>How is connectivity enabling preventive care?<\/h3>\n<p>In medical data transmission, reliable and consistent connectivity is crucial. Without continuous and precise data capture and real-time, secure data transmission, mHealth solutions cannot offer an optimized care pathway and allow preventive strategies to be effective. The need for relevant and accurate medical information makes connectivity one of the most important aspects of health IT infrastructure.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25511 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/table.jpg\" alt=\"mHealth: Unlocking the Potential of Preventive Healthcare\" width=\"770\" height=\"214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/table.jpg 770w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/table-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/table-768x213.jpg 768w, https:\/\/intellias.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/table-766x214.jpg 766w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><br \/>\nMobile medical care solutions may be connected via wireless and wired networking. Wired networks, despite their reliability and speed, are restricted to use in a closed environment. Therefore, they are not a good match for preventive care that requires frequent data updates, irrespective of the patient\u2019s whereabouts. Because of the ubiquitous access and flexibility they provide, wireless connectivity standards make a better choice in this context. The question remains what type of connection provides the highest reliability and speed to ensure consistent, secure data transmission between patients and their provider\u2019s many devices?<\/p>\n<p>For now, Wi-Fi remains the default mode of connecting mHealth devices, as it is the most affordable and offers good coverage that enables monitoring of patients in transit. However, cellular transmission is believed to be the most suitable for sending medical data.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, mHealth devices can connect to mobile networks everywhere, which is particularly useful for patients on the move. The currently available 4G LTE technology is fast, efficient, and much more resistant to security vulnerabilities than Wi-Fi, which is imperative when data security is at stake. Cellular connectivity also offers remote SIM provisioning that allows for fast deployment of medical devices anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s anticipated that the advances in fifth-generation (5G) communication will bring even more opportunities to mHealth adoption in disease prevention, through superior performance, reduced latency, higher capacity, and massive device connectivity. With current 5G deployment in over 40 countries across the world (including South Korea, China, UAE, USA, Germany, Kuwait, Poland, Qatar, with varying levels of progression), the technology promises to push the adoption of mHealth solutions in healthcare prevention even further.<br \/>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/intellias.com\/top-uses-of-5g-in-the-energy-sector\/\" class=\"cta-wrap \">\n                    <div class=\"left-col\">\n                        <p class=\"cta-title\">Find out more about how the speed and responsiveness of wireless 5G communications are driving the energy sector.<\/p>\n                        <div class=\"cta-block__content\">\n                            <div class=\"description\"><\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                     <span class=\"btn-filled\">Read more<\/span>\n\t\t        <\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<h3>Connecting healthcare apps to mobile devices<\/h3>\n<p>As stated, a mobile health app cannot function in isolation.
