Using the Public Mobile Network for Health Care (“mHealth”)

Context
• Based on investigation for China Mobile: Report out in February 2011
• Looking at existing and potential applications• Looking at drivers and inhibitors
• Global perspective but heavy China focus• Rather broad interpretation of mHealth
application

General Observations• No shortage of ideas• Distinction between mobile and non-mobile
communication is unhelpful, however:– The smallest global infrastructure gap is in mobile
communication. Inexpensive “smart” handsets means that this gap, if anything, will narrow.
– For the majority of the world’s population, the only port of interaction with information systems is the mobile handset
– The single electrical interface that is most widely deployed in the world is the micro USB port on mobile phones. More than any given power socket!
• Huge potential for transfer of innovation…

… but Need to Partition the Application Space
• By economy: developed, emerging, developing• By interaction with the health care system• By who perceives value: consumer/patient,
health care provider, government, NGO
• Classify China as “emerging” but lessons from China need to be abstracted

Most Developed mHealth App in China?

What We Didn’t Find
• Much evidence that people were building in evaluation to their applications
• Any evidence that information generated by mobile applications in general or mHealth applications in particular was being used to inform public health

Speculation
• Consumer led, self-help, “plug-in” innovation will flourish in developed world
• Innovation which requires interaction with the medical establishment will flourish in the emerging world
• Developing world will have distinct applications, but should transfer where possible from the others
