Among other things that are big now is of course mobile healthcare. The recent GSMA Mobile Health Summit held in Cape Town stressed the importance of mobile technology in improving the healthcare of people in developing countries.

Again, as in the case with financial services, mobile phones are set to improve the lives of poor who don’t have even basic access to healthcare. Alerts for medical intake, instant health advice, or remote monitoring are just a few things that possible using mobile phone. For Africa, where road infrastructure is poor and doctor-patient ratio, for example, in Ghana, is one doctor per 17,700 citizens, mHealth is the chance to reach those who ill and can’t travel. Or don’t have money for a qualified medical support.

In order for mHealth to work in developing countries, the technology should be cost effective, reliable, simple and reach the maximum number of subscribers. It simply should work on any mobile phone, in any mobile network in the world.

Developing world is not the only place where mHealth is on the rise. In fact, according to World Health Organisation report, higher-income countries show more mHealth activity than do lower-income countries. In America people see it as a way to avoid the expensive visits to doctors and use it as a motivational tool – quit smoking, follow a diet, etc. Of course, it can be used for more serious cases, like monitoring patients who are suffering from chronic conditions.

So, with a demand high all over the world, what can be a technology that can be quickly deployed in any country, be cost effective and can be easily used both by advanced mobile phone users and those who use it for the first time?
