Book Description
A rural population of more than 100 million in China has no medical care. China's healthcare reform has a core goal of improving healthcare access for rural patients. To facilitate delivery of a web-based multi-specialty telemedicine program for chronic disease management in rural areas, and to better utilize health information resources in village clinics, we propose establishment of a mobile health data service. To design the software used by village physicians and mobile staff, we focus on the current international standards and open source technologies of health informatics. We propose a field study of this approach as an ancillary service of a telemedicine program in sample regions of rural China. We explored four areas of public domain and/or open source software applications: electronic health record system, clinical data acquisition modalities, health information exchange, and web-based telemedicine. The key to a successful software package for Chinese users is software localization, from the international standards to China's national standards. We must use standards to guide the design and development of healthcare software applications. We also analyze the operational role and opportunities of health informatics in China's rural healthcare reform. We design the field study to start from the sample regions of an existing telemedicine program. With input from local providers, we will customize software to local user requirements. We will train technicians and deploy them to rural clinics on scheduled days to collect health data, or to exchange information with local providers who have no Internet access. When technicians return to a health information exchange hub where Internet is available, the collected local information will be forwarded to a web-based multi-specialty telemedicine service. Appropriate returning messages will be routed to local providers through physical delivery to ensure information integrity. Phone calls or text messaging will be used only during a medical emergency. With lessons learned from this field study, we will establish a workable model of health information exchange and telemedicine to connect rural patients with medical services available only in the cities.

Book Description
This book examines the current status of mHealth development, regulations and the social background in Japan, South Korea and China, comparing it to the situation in the United States and the European Union and consider solutions to issues surrounding mHealth. The recent progress in mobile technology, represented by smartphones and smart watches, has been remarkable. A service called mobile health (mHealth), which uses such mobile technology to manage health, is also becoming a reality. Although the accuracy of medical devices is not as accurate as those used in medicine, the biometric information such as heart rate and SpO2 can already be monitored over a long period of time. Although the technology is maturing to the point where it can be implemented in society, it remains an unapproved service of medical care in most countries. The development and social implementation of mHealth is most active in the US, but social implementation is gradually progressing in other countries as well. In this book, we will first discuss what kind of global and harmonized regulations are desirable by comparing the regulatory reforms necessary for social implementation of mHealth. In addition, mHealth raises privacy concerns in the US because the usual behavior and biometric information of subjects is utilized by private companies. In addition, it is important to note that the behavior and biometric information of subjects collected by smart devices is automatically analyzed by AI technology, mainly machine learning, which makes the analysis a black box.

Book Description
This book defines the phenomenon of mHealth and its evolution, explaining why an understanding of mHealth is critical for decision makers, entrepreneurs and policy analysts who are pivotal to developing products that meet the collaborative health information needs of consumers and providers in a competitive and rapidly-changing environment. The book examines trends in mHealth and discusses how mHealth technologies offer opportunities for innovators and entrepreneurs, those who often are industry first-movers with regard to technology advancement. It also explores the changing dynamics and relationships among physicians, patients, insurers, regulators, managers, administrators, caregivers and others involved in the delivery of health services. The primary focus is on the ways in which mHealth technologies are revising and reshaping healthcare delivery systems in the United States and globally and how those changes are expected to change the ways in which the business of healthcare is conducted. mHealth: Transforming Healthcare consists of nine chapters that addresses key content areas, including history (to the extent that dynamic technologies have a history), projection of immediate evolution and consistent issues associated with health technology, such as security and information privacy and government and industry regulation. A major point of discussion addressed is whether mHealth is a transient group of products and a passing patient encounter approach, or if it is the way much of our health care will be delivered in future years with incremental evolution to achieve sustainable innovation of health technologies.

Book Description
The application of mobile health (mHealth) solutions has brought promising solutions in the healthcare field, and both rural and urban areas have embraced it. Mobile technology provides a simple, swift, and affordable platform in rural areas where internet services are still unavailable. The developing countries have aspired to stir up the healthcare field by utilizing mobile technology in different ways to catch up with the exponential growth of mobile technology. A unique and web-based mobile application called Amakomaya has been developed and implemented in Nepal to help women to address the challenges of pregnancy, prenatal care, newborn health, and newborn vaccinations. While many mobile health applications exist, their possible effects on user knowledge or behavior have not been fully determined. This paper will analyze back-end mHealth data from Amakomaya to outline a possible framework for evaluations of mHealth applications. A literature review was conducted to understand the expansion of mHealth in rural areas of underdeveloped and developing countries. Several challenges to mHealth uptake were noted in the literature like mobile network coverage, power, technological readiness, community readiness, ergonomics, and design of a mobile application. Further research on these areas is essential to understand the potential of these projects and help to reach out to most isolated communities. Vaccination data from the Amakomaya web portal was accessed and analyzed (back-end analytics) by utilizing Statistical Analysis System (SAS) to see if the vaccination rates were different between children residing in rural municipalities when compared to the urban municipalities and if they differed from gender or birthplace (either home or health facility) or age. The results reveal that vaccination rates were similar for municipalities and gender, however different for birthplace and age. It is reasonable to assume that there is a positive correlation between age and vaccination rate (r-value is 0.722). It is reasonable to assume that there is a linear relationship between age and vaccination rate. Back-end analytics helps with data-driven solutions for qualitative healthcare.
