Mobile health (mHealth) combines the decentralization of health care with patient centeredness. Mature mHealth applications (apps) and services could provide actionable information, coaching, or alerts at a fraction of the cost of conventional health care. Different categories of apps attract diverse safety and privacy regulation. It is too early to tell whether these apps can overcome questions about their use cases, business models, and regulation.
移动医疗 (mHealth) 将医疗保健去中心化与以患者为中心相结合。成熟的 mHealth 应用程序 (apps) 和服务可以以传统医疗保健成本的一小部分提供可操作的信息、指导或警报。不同类别的应用程序吸引了不同的安全和隐私法规。现在判断这些应用程序是否能够克服关于其用例、商业模式和监管的问题还为时过早。
