 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our special thanks of
gratitude to our teacher Dr. Sameer Hamdan
who gave us the
golden opportunity to present on
this topic(MOBILE HEALTH).
 INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS Mhealth?

MHealth an abbreviaton for mobile health,a term used for the practice of medicine
and public health supported by mobile devices.

The term is most commonly used in reference to using mobile communication

devices,such as mobile phones,tablet computers and PDAs,for health services
and information

MHealth applications include the use of mobile devices

in : Collecting community and clinical health data

Delivery of healthcare information to practitoners,researchers

Real-time monitoring of patient vital signs

 INTRODUCTION pt2
There is a lot of excitement around mHealth.

mHealth offers anew and fast way of collecting health related

information. with a small and yet powerful smartphone or mobile device.

There are several categories in which mobile apps can be categorized into
while there will most likely be a lot more out there ,we will focus on the main
parent categories and
provide examples in each.

 WHAT IS
RPM?
A technology to enable monitoring of patients outside of conventional
clinical settings.

Depending on the disease and the parameters,different combinations

of sensors,storage,
and applications may be used.

Physiological data collected by sensors on peripheral devices.

RPM –in case of some chronic disease,it is able to improve an individual’s quality
of life.

 SMART ECG MONITOR

A 3-lead wireless ECG

Continuously send ECG readngs to the user’s Android smartphone via

Bluetooth.

From there,sends the data over the mobile networks to a

server. Patient’s clinician can then access reading’s via a web

browser.

and other
SENSORS
Works on three simples steps:

1.measure(analyse) your
physiological parameters such
as blood pressure
2.Communicate with your
phone,tablet or pc wirelessly

3.Alerts based on the

analysis of
collected data.
 Disadvantages of mHealth

 IN CONCLUSION

The use of mobile health apps has improve patient experience,

especially with regard to accessing health information, making
physician-patient communication more convenient, ensuring
transparency in medical charge, and ameliorating short-term
outcomes. All of these may contribute to positive health outcomes.
Therefore, we should encourage the adoption of mobile health
apps in health care settings so as to improve patient experience.
