10. Let us start with Definitions Mobile eHealth or mHealth broadly encompasses the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies as they are integrated within increasingly mobile and wireless health care delivery systems and is part of a movement towards citizen-centered health service delivery. The most widely cited and definitive definition is by Istepanian et al. as ‘emerging mobile communications and network technologies for healthcare.’ Other later citations include Bardram et al. as m-health is focused on embedded wireless devices that track health-related parameters:

Editor's Notes
McKinsey research points to the huge impact of chronic conditions, which now claim at least three-quarters of all health care spending in most developed countries. One government-run health insurer in Germany, for example, has costs totaling more than €6 billion, including €4.9 billion for chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (€760 million) and diabetes (€500 million).

The second, empirical medicine, deals with the expensive world of chronic care and trial-and-error treatment, Forbes reports. Lastly, precision medicine is where the diagnosis and therapy are known. Treatment can be made routine and moved out of the hospital. "Disruption will involve pushing more of medicine into the precision category, then automating that care to make it better and cheaper," Forbes reports.
Wikipedia's definition currently says:"Mobile eHealth or mHealth broadly encompasses the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies as they are integrated within increasingly mobile and wireless healthcare delivery systems. The field broadly encompasses the use of mobile telecommunication and multimedia technologies in healthcare delivery." Mobile technologies by nature lend themselves to more decentralized health service delivery. Although Ministries of Health in low and middle income countries and policy makers are eager to explore the use of mobile phones and other ICT to promote health, the lack of a comprehensive model, knowledge base, and published data on the health benefits poses significant barriers.

Consider a hypothetical group of 100,000 people born in 1901. If they experienced the mortality rates in all age groups present at the turn of the 20th century, then only 31 would be expected to reach age 100. On the other hand, in a group of 100,000 people born in 2006 and experiencing our era's mortality rates, 1,737 would live to 100. The Delineation of Home Healthcare: The Natural Evolution of a Healthy IndustryHowever, giving "old age" greater legitimacy in the lexicon of 21st-century medicine has risks, especially beyond the industrialized world. A 2005 study found that "death registration" is complete in only 64 of 115 countries reporting data to WHO. Only one-third of the 57 million deaths that will occur this year around the world will be assigned a cause and reported to a government bureau of vital statistics.
The cost of monitoring a VA patient at home is $1,900 per year, compared with $77,000 for nursing home care, according to the government agency.Last summer, General Electric and Intel launched a joint venture focused on home health care, including a device that enables video conferencing between doctors and patients and a motion sensor system that tracks senior's movements and sends an alert if they fall. Verizon announced last April it would partner with telemedicine developer BL Healthcare on a wireless health care platform. In October, AT&T said it would begin offering WellDoc's mobile health applications, including diabetes management, to its employees.

Developed by researchers at the Holst Center in the Netherlands, the Smart Bandage uses a film that combines light sources and photo sensors (pixels) to measure the amount of oxygen circulating in the blood around the damaged tissue.Ellie Zolfagharifard writes that he team hopes the Smart Bandage will help in the commercialization of the next generation of extremely small and very low-cost printed electronic sensor technology.
PiiX, is a wireless, water-resistant sensor that sticks to a patient's chest like a large Band-Aid and monitors heart rate, respiratory rate, bodily fluids, and overall activity. It transmits the data to a central server for analysis and review by doctor and patient.The basic technology platform has already received FDA approval, but Corventis envisions the PiiX as much more than a simple monitoring system. The company is working to generate algorithms that can predict, for instance, when a patient is on the verge of heart failure by comparing trends in his or her vital signs to other cases. "When you apply it in the real world, the algorithm begins to learn," says CEO Ed Manicka. "Not from 5 or 10 patients, but from hundreds of thousands of patients, as the system is applied across the planet."

Yes, mobile apps have been hailed as one of the next big things in healthcare. But, are we there yet?
Currently there are 17,000 mHealth applications in major app stores, 74% of them adhering to the paid business model. With more and more traditional healthcare providers joining the mobile applications market, the business models will broaden to include healthcare services, sensor, advertising and drug sales revenues.“With the growing sophistication level of mHealth applications, only 14% of the total market revenue in the next 5 years will come from application download revenue” explains Egle Mikalajunaite senior research analyst. “76% of total mHealth application market revenue will come from related services and products such as sensorsOf the current health apps on the market, 43% are designed for health care professionals, indicating the future of mHealth has far-reaching personal and institutional potential.

Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital have built a $200 portable device that can hook up to a smartphone and analyze a tiny amount of tissue to determine in an hour whether a patient’s cancer is malignant and likely to spread.The device can display its findings using the monitors on mobile phones.The researchers found they could obtain 96 percent accurate predictions of whether a cancer was malignant in the first group of 50 people — better than the 84 percent accuracy of current methods. To validate the work, they used the test in a second group of 20 people, and found it was 100 percent accurate
MRI and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) scanners typically use large, powerful magnets, but that is unnecessary when the samples being scanned are very small — say, just one-millionth of a liter of fluid, which is all that is needed for an accurate detection of cancer cells. Researchers now have developed a device "that, even including the magnet, can fit in the palm of your hand," researcher Jered Haun, a medical engineer at Harvard Medical School in Boston, told TechNewsDaily.

T2 is exploring how the application can be used and how well it can connect.
On the domestic front, Jeffrey Shuren, director of the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health, said, “We need to be moving towards open sourced, independent infrastructure where you have components of different manufacturers that can plug and play. FDA is looking to the development of those different types of standards to get the biggest bang for our buck.”

As Mr Gates pointed out this week, “Middle-income countries are where most innovation in health care is going to come from.”Mobile phones' impact on health care could be even greater in the developing world, where mobiles far outnumber PCs. “For most of the world”, says Mr Jones, “this is the only computer they are ever going to own. It's on the internet. And they carry it everywhere.” Get ready for the doctor in your pocket.
The tricky part is finding a way to pay for telemedicine which doesn't fit into the traditional U.S. health care model centered around visits to the hospital and the doctor's office.
