Patients want convenience and control. Payers are interested in mHealth's value for money. Yet doctors are resistant — 64% worry that mHealth makes patients too independent.

  • How healthcare providers or services send me general healthcare information
  • How I manage my overall health (eg, track my weight and exercise)
  • How I measure and share my vital health information (eg, heart rate, blood glucose)
  • How I manage my medication
  • How I manage any chronic conditions that I have
  • How my healthcare providers and I communicate about my overall health or chronic condition
  • How my healthcare providers monitor my condition and my compliance with directions
