Mobile Health

Abstract

Today most people have at least one smart phone irrespective of socio-economic standing. Such a penetration of mobile phones has enabled mobile health to rapidly develop over the last 5 years. There are many benefits to patients and clinicians afforded by mobile health including the convenience of any time anywhere access to data and information and the possibility to monitor so that critical issues can be caught early. One key area is in the post discharge phase as patients return home to ensure they are making good progress. This chapter discusses developments of mobile health solutions and precision post-operative wellness monitoring solutions.
