mHealth: Mobile Technologies to Improve Health
Summary
Health is an underlying aspect of the RIO +20 Conference, and the importance of investing in improving people’s health and their environment has been identified as a prerequisite to sustainable development.
How Mobile Technology Influences Health Innovation
Mobile technology has transformed the way that individuals accomplish everyday tasks like finding directions, paying bills, and communicating with friends. But mobile technology has also changed the way individuals interact with the medical system around the world. With technological advances, health providers are now able remotely to monitor diabetic and heart patients, send email reminders to take medications, and access diagnostic databases through mobile devices.
