Mobile healthcare helps alleviate the difficulties of accessing medical care. Since the launch of the new healthcare reform, the demand and development potential of information technology in China's healthcare industry have been enormous. Accelerating the development of healthcare information technology and deeply cultivating the healthcare industry have become industry focuses.
The widespread availability of low-cost mobile phones and global mobile communication networks clearly provides a feasible technological foundation for this healthcare concept. Over the past few decades, mobile communication technology has consistently adhered to the following development directions: miniaturization, faster speeds, and lower costs. These characteristics are reflected in many aspects, including hardware and software applications, network access, standards, and services, and will continue to develop in this direction in the future. A large number of services can be accessed through more unified, faster, and cheaper bandwidth; networks also have strong capabilities and wider coverage. All of these provide conditions for promoting the continued development of mHealth applications and moving beyond simple one-way data service models.
