Abstract
mHealth or mobile healthcare has become an increasingly important issue in several disciplines such as health communication, public health, and health promotion. This enables the users to use portable devices such as smartphones, smart bands, or tablets for health monitoring. The users have the ability to utilize software applications to interact with mobile devices and store relevant data for further classification and diagnosis. The apps then process the gathered data using the given algorithms and provide the user with personalized diagnosis, and further recommendations for treatment and even suggestive measures to improve general health and fitness. Another benefit of mobile technology is that the data and health statistics of a single patient can be compared with large data sets to facilitate treatment and proper guidance. Doctors, nurses, and other health professionals use mobile devices to access patient information, databases, and resources. Help in today's world is just a click away.
