The increasing availability of mobile devices and corresponding applications, both for providers and patients, often leads to speculation that mHealth, as the combination of mobile devices and health services is often called, would revolutionize the use of information technology (IT) in healthcare. On the other hand users, providers and operators providing such solutions are often confronted with completely new challenges. This article assesses the options and potential of mHealth and also takes a critical look at potential obstacles. As this field is very broad this critical analysis is illustrated by means of three exemplary application areas: mHealth in radiology, the influence of mHealth on research and mHealth as an enabler of new services, always with examples from other countries.The use of mHealth in radiology currently often develops empirically from existing applications in a relatively unstructured way and benefiting from the dynamic development of mobile technology. The possibilities range from viewing images at the bedside via mobile accessibility of radiologists up to teleradiology. In research there is a huge potential in solutions that actively involve patients with their own mobile devices but the field of data protection is still perceived in Germany as problematic so that only a few research institutions are actively addressing these options. The concept of mHealth allows physicians, hospitals and other service providers to invent entirely new services and a start-up scene is beginning to be established with business models becoming successful particularly with exchanges at the interface with established suppliers.
移动设备及相应应用程序对于医疗服务提供者和患者而言越来越容易获取，这常常引发一种猜测，即移动健康（通常被称为移动设备与健康服务的结合）将彻底改变信息技术（IT）在医疗保健领域的应用。另一方面，提供此类解决方案的用户、医疗服务提供者和运营商常常面临全新的挑战。本文评估了移动健康的选择和潜力，同时也批判性地审视了潜在障碍。由于该领域非常广泛，本文通过三个示例性应用领域进行批判性分析：放射学中的移动健康、移动健康对研究的影响以及移动健康作为新服务的推动者，每个领域均配有其他国家的实例。目前，放射学中移动健康的应用通常以相对无组织的方式从现有应用中凭经验发展而来，并受益于移动技术的动态发展。其可能性范围从通过放射科医生的移动可及性在床边查看图像到远程放射学。在研究方面，让患者使用自己的移动设备积极参与的解决方案具有巨大潜力，但在德国，数据保护领域仍被视为存在问题，因此只有少数研究机构积极探索这些选择。移动健康的概念使医生、医院和其他服务提供商能够创造全新的服务，并且一个初创场景正在形成，商业模式正走向成功，尤其是在与现有供应商的接口处进行交流时。
