Health telematics is a growing up issue that is becoming a major improvement on patient lives, especially in elderly, disabled, and chronically ill. In recent years, information and communication technologies improvements, along with mobile Internet, offering anywhere and anytime connectivity, play a key role on modern healthcare solutions. In this context, mobile health (m-Health) delivers healthcare services, overcoming geographical, temporal, and even organizational barriers. M-Health solutions address emerging problems on health services, including, the increasing number of chronic diseases related to lifestyle, high costs of existing national health services, the need to empower patients and families to self-care and handle their own healthcare, and the need to provide direct access to health services, regardless of time and place. Then, this paper presents a comprehensive review of the state of the art on m-Health services and applications. It surveys the most significant research work and presents a deep analysis of the top and novel m-Health services and applications proposed by industry. A discussion considering the European Union and United States approaches addressing the m-Health paradigm and directives already published is also considered. Open and challenging issues on emerging m-Health solutions are proposed for further works.
健康远程医疗是一个正在发展的问题，它正在极大地改善患者的生活，尤其是老年人、残疾人和慢性病患者的生活。近年来，信息和通信技术的进步，以及移动互联网提供的随时随地的连接，在现代医疗解决方案中发挥着关键作用。在这种背景下，移动健康（m-Health）提供医疗服务，克服了地理、时间甚至组织上的障碍。移动健康解决方案解决了健康服务中出现的问题，包括与生活方式相关的慢性病数量增加、现有国家医疗服务的高成本、增强患者及其家庭自我护理和管理自身医疗保健的需求，以及无论时间和地点都能直接获得医疗服务的需求。然后，本文对移动健康服务和应用的现状进行了全面综述。它调查了最重要的研究工作，并对行业提出的顶级和新颖的移动健康服务及应用进行了深入分析。还讨论了欧盟和美国针对移动健康范式及已发布指令的方法。针对新兴移动健康解决方案提出了开放且具有挑战性的问题，以供进一步研究。
