Mhealth is already taking off worldwide in 2014

mobile health app news

The expansion of mobile healthcare technology is occurring very quickly this year.

Recent reports have been showing that the expectations for this year’s mhealth technologies and resources is expected to be extremely broad and rapid, and this has already been shown to be accurate as tech shows and events include a broader number of health related gadgets and programs among their offerings and presentations.

This sector of mobile development has already been seeing some broad growth, but this year is expected to take off.

Many predictions are being put forward that are suggesting that mhealth could represent a considerable transformation in the world of medicine, and that 2014 will be the official start to that revolution. Though other industries have been much more aggressive about their implementation of mobile devices, healthcare has been much quieter about it – until this year.

It is believed that mhealth is going to be much louder about its existence, this year.

mhealth newsExperts are saying that the healthcare sector is becoming tired of holding off before it embraces many of the newest mainstream technologies. It is because of this that certain segments have already been popping up and showing that they are open to these changes. This should be only the jumping off point when it comes to the growing use and acceptance of mobile devices in terms of helping people with various elements of their medical lives.

As smartphones and other devices have reached a penetration level that is continually breaking records, it is becoming increasingly easy for patients to be connected using accessories or apps that can help them to gain information about their conditions or even communicate directly with practitioners. Even doctors and other medical professionals are starting to adopt more mobile-friendly practices.

For instance, one of the most widely accepted beliefs from researchers considering mhealth is that patients will be able to use their devices to monitor issues such as blood pressure or blood glucose levels so that doctors will be able to better track patients who are at-risk instead of relying on patients to take their own notes, or – even worse – tracking only with tests performed in the office.
