Modern smart mobile devices offer media-rich and context-aware features

that are highly useful for M-Health(mobile health) apps.

In Ios & Google play store we can find more than 2000 apps for medical,

Healthcare & fitness.

(Norris et al, 2009) did a pilot study on M-health sustainability strategies

and conclude that it will play a crucial role in health care.

(Rebolj & Menzel, 2004) for M-health service needs 3 components

1) mobile devices

2) software platform

3) m-health application

Mobile devices typically include PDAs(personal digital assistant),

PDAs were widely used in the late 90’s and in 2000. But as the

computational power of smart phones improved, PDA features were

incorporated into smart phones. Using modern smart phones as the

single mobile device of choice could not only save money by not having

to purchase a separate PDA device, but also facilitate faster access

( Guerriet al.,2009; Mattila et al.,2008; poropatich et.al.,2010)

In 2009, the authors implemented a prototype mobile BMM(behavioral

migraine management) app for i-phone to help adolescent migraine

patients manage their migraines and communicate with their

counselors.(Liu et al.,2010)

To deal with the problem of an aging population and the increasing

no of chronic patients in china,( poon and zhang, 2008) developed a

4 layer( personal, home, community, and hospital) M-health

application.

They took management of BP as an example from this the

medical costs were reduced in two aspects

lower equipment costs and reduced use of medical facilities through

new techniques that provided precise diagnosis and targeted therapy.

The result of that paper was that innovative technologies in

wearable medical devices.

The US Army explored using mobile phones with in the

military healthcare system ( poropatich et al.,2010)

Ronald et al. used a video cell phone reminder system to

improve glycemic control in patients with diabetes.

The reminder system prompted the users to take

medication & check their blood glucose, for this they trail

on two groups of people one group who is following &

another is not following after 12 weeks they found a lot of

difference between to group members.

Like this,

In Australia ( Liet al. 2010) illustrated SMS based

application could be applied to viral disease.

In the UNITED STATES (Gerber et al. 2009) used

mobile phone as reminder message receiver for weight

loss maintenance.

Post surgery monitoring of a heart-condition patient:

After heart surgery, the patients are being closely

monitoring from their home with the help of smart phones. It

measures heart rate, posture and breathing rate.

Suppose if patient’s heart rate being excess of 140BPM,

then the remote health care professional react initially by

requesting the patient’s smart phone to record and transmit a

6sec strip of ECG data.

Depending on the result they will ask patient to return to

the hospital.

Using an unobtrusive body area network and

smart phone sensors could gather data including

heart rate, breathing rate, skin temperature and

hydration level.
