Health care in a technological world.
British Journal of Nursing : BJN 2018 November 9
Ongoing innovation in the field of mobile health (mHealth) has the potential to change the landscape of healthcare practice both inside and outside formal clinical settings. mHealth could enhance patient education, prevent disease, improve diagnosis and research-based treatment, reduce healthcare costs and enable patients to manage long-term conditions. In addition, unimpeded by geographical distance, smartphone-linked wearable sensors, built around real-time connectivity, will improve communication between health professionals and improve the understanding of physiological variability, thereby improving clinical decisions and quality of care. However, despite the potential of mHealth, there are still significant information gaps regarding its long-term effects, acceptability, costs and risks. There is therefore a significant need for continued research to evaluate the functions and appropriateness of these medical devices that are slowly entering the healthcare arena, while not neglecting the rights of the individual.
