Mobile Health Technology. How will it affect Public Health?

By , About.com GuideJune 13, 2012

Follow me on:

Mobile health technology puts low-cost, high-quality care within reach of anyone who can afford a mobile phone. There are other programs that require more traditional at-home devices, but more companies are producing wireless phone applications, and small devices, that the masses will have access to.

I wonder, what impact will this democratization of healthcare have on poverty? On fixed income seniors? On the federal and state-funded (tax payer-funded) programs like Medicare and Medicaid? I plan to ask these questions and devlop these ideas in future articles.

is also happening with this post which I am reading at this time.
