mHealth Market Forecast, 2017 - 2025
Recently, the World Health Organization has defined mHealth as the use of mobile and wireless technologies to support the achievement of health objectives.

Recently, the World Health Organization has defined mHealth as the use of mobile and wireless technologies to support the achievement of health objectives. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) defines mHealth as the use of mobile and wireless devices (cell phones, tablets, etc.) to improve health outcomes, health care services, and health research. In a broad sense, mHealth is a set of apps, devices, connections that allow the user to be mobile, or reach out in a variety of ways.

The difference between mHealth and telehealth, then, is that telehealth refers to all instances of healthcare via the use of modern technology, whereas mHealth refers to the concept of mobile self-care — consumer technologies like smartphone and tablet apps that enable consumers to capture their own health data, without a clinician’s assistance or interpretation.
