Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) is an emerging concept which refers to the combinational use of mobile computing, communication technologies, and medical sensors for healthcare [1]. In addition to the passive provision of health-related information via mobile platforms, its scope also extends to more active applications such as disease management, medical prognosis, diagnosis, and even treatment. A typical mHealth system is characterized by its features of mobility, wireless connectivity, location independence, and timely responsewhich together provide seamless and personalized healthcare.
