mHealth + health 2.0 + Healthcare IT = mCure™

By “mHealth" one means, first of all, the health proper which one would like to have without being in hospital but on a mobile outpatient basis, without having to abandon the usual lifestyle. In solving this

issue, thousands of medical apps for mobile devices have been developed over the course of recent years. They can be divided into the following categories only:

Diagnostics. They can be combined with portable biometric sensors measuring blood pressure, body temperature, blood glucose level, heart rate, level of hemoglobin and cholesterol as well as ultrasound tests.

Monitoring. A patient being monitored by a doctor. Sending SOS signals to emergency aid or a doctor in charge if necessary, locating the patient.

Telehealth. Long-distance communication with a doctor in charge via videoconferencing or chat, sharing diagnostics results.

Data sharing. Electronic health record. Virtual prescriptions, advice and recommendations of doctors.

As for MEDICAL effects of a mobile device on body, the “peak achievement” was the personal organizer function: your phone can remind you which medicine to take and when. The logic of innovators is to integrate some medical apps into cells phones is understandable and explainable. Photo, video, media apps and other communication facilities have been adapted for mobile devices. Therefore, the innovative thought taking the direction towards mobile health is fairly timely and relevant.

However, the final element of the logical chain, that is MOBILE TREATMENT (mCure) in the context of MOBILE HEALTH (mHealth), has not yet been introduced.
