   mhealth factoids

   “I think the industry is embracing mHealth, or starting to, because they see a lot of potential to improve patient outcomes and increase their own ability to render cost-effective care, but there are going to be some pitfalls as well if it’s not done right.”

   Grant Leffingwell
   [Researcher, Battelle Memorial Institute]

   84% of consumers embrace technology to enhance and aide the diagnostic process while only 69% of doctors feel the same. 58% of patients and 77% of doctors agree that doctors should review test results before sharing with patients.

   With regard to using a smartphone to perform other tests, nearly one half of patients would consider doing so, while only about one-third of doctors would be willing to accept information from patients’ smartphones in place of office visits.

   More on Health Apps

   25 percent of smart phone users use apps to track a health related condition. These users are viewed as having an increased desire for personal involvement in their health and wellness.

   Of those 75 percent of Americans not using a health app researchers found that 50 percent would consider using one if, a) it was provided by their insurance carrier if an incentive such as reduced premiums was offered, or b) was offered by their provider.

   Mobile Privacy

   “It is incredibly important that Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) work with the mobile industry to adopt a more sensible implementation of the laws that govern health privacy.”

   Software

   “The FDA is quite earnestly working to ensure that it uses the lightest regulatory touch appropriate for software. It’s exciting, because it means that innovation in this space can truly flourish.”

   Here an App, There’s an App, Everywhere an App, App!

   If you’re in Healthcare and you’re not working on an App or using an App you may be looked at as being from 1999.

   All types of entities are providing Apps to “someone,” and sometimes, to anyone without using the appropriate market demographics to identify if the app works.

   Mobile Tech

   “What we’re seeing is that mobile technologies are increasing accessibility not necessarily to healthcare but to health information. This, in general, is a good thing considering that enormous amounts of our health population are not health literate. One of the ways to combat that is to have other channels to disseminate information.”
