Research and analysis highlights

Demographic changes such as population ageing, health conditions linked to increased sedentariness and harmful lifestyle choices are key drivers of mobile health. Economic and financial pressures lead healthcare providers and governments to deliver more cost-effective healthcare through mobile health and telemedicine.

The pervasiveness of mobile cellular technology and the technological advances in IT, mobile telephony, and user equipment are creating the perfect environment for the remote provision of healthcare. The increased prevalence of chronic diseases is creating a market for telemonitoring equipment and services.

Developing countries stand to benefit the most from mobile health and telemedicine due to the greater lack of fixed ICT infrastructures and healthcare provision.
