Health in a Handset: How Mobile Technology is Good Medicine for the Asia-Pacific
The global popularity of mobile phones is being harnessed in the
delivery of healthcare services (mHealth) to remote locations with
scarce resources. In Bangladesh, mHealth is used for communicating with
patients and doctors, delivering expert advice, collecting information
in public health campaigns, even self-testing by patients. Pradeep Ray, a
professor of information technology at the Australian School of
Business, says Bangladesh is leading the world in providing
mHealth-based services and that research he's leading into community
acceptance there will benefit other developing countries. Meanwhile, in
the developed world, mHealth can be a cost-effective tool in the
allocation of stretched health budgets trying to cope with an ageing
population and chronic conditions.
