(Roebuck, 2012) posits that mHealth, which in its entirety means mobile health, is a broad term that refers to the use of mobile phones as well as other wireless technologies in healthcare. care. Commonly used applications in mHealth are mobile phones and communication devices that inform clients about preventive health services. However, this service is also used for chronic disease management, disease monitoring; outbreak monitoring and treatment support (Istepanian et al, 2011). This technology is becoming a popular alternative in underserved areas where there is a huge population and high level of mobile phone usage. NGOs like the mHealth Alliance are pushing for continued use of mHealth in developing countries. The impact of mHealth on the quality of care, life, cost of care and access to mHealth revolves around 3 major modalities: mobile web for health management sites, text messaging for health reminders and native mobile health apps. The mobile web is not defined by the operating system, so almost any smartphone can access the information. The mobile web also has design advantages, as it provides user interfaces that are more consistent with the PC web. Client customization becomes relatively simple. As a result, mobile web product developments could take place very quickly. However, the mobile web is inherently passive in the sense that it cannot proactively contact users to encourage them to use it. Functionality may be obstructed if cellular signals are not strong or Wi-Fi service is not accessible. The need to access the Internet to collect information means that the mobile web is not as fast as native applications (Krohn et al, 2012). Text messaging has a feature that is generally lacking in mobile apps. of paper......the way patients receive their care and with this evolving industry, the differentiation between a mobile healthcare strategy and a healthcare strategy will dissolve. The first strategy is very important as mobile begins to define the future of healthcare. Works Cited Istepanian, RSH, Laxminarayan, S. and Pattichis, CS (2011).
