Digitalization: Important milestonesGlobal digital report 2018
• It’s not just the internet that’s growing rapidly,
• More than half the world now uses a smartphone;
• Almost two-thirds of the world’s population now has a mobile phone;
• More than half of the world’s web traffic now comes from mobile phones;
• More than half of all mobile connections around the world are now ‘broadband’;
• More than one in five of the world’s population shopped online in the past 30 days.
- mHealth refers to the practice of medicine and public health supported
by mobile devices
- Within digital health, mHealth encompasses all applications of
telecommunications and multimedia technologies for the delivery of
healthcare ad health information
- According WHO> 5 billion mobile phone subscriptions in the world
(85% world population covered by a commercial wireless signal
How is mHealth used ?
• The most common applications for mHealth include:
• Education and awareness
• Diagnostic and treatment support
• Disease and epidemic outbreak tracking
• Healthcare supply chain management
• Remote data collection
• Remote monitoring
• Healthcare worker telecommunication and training
• Telehealth and telemedicine
• Chronic disease management

IN SUMMARY : mHealth promises to revolutionize consumer engagement, provider excellence, and the effectiveness of
healthcare delivery accross the globe.
• Mobile platforms are the world’s most pervasive technology trend
• The increased penetration of smartphones and expanding wireless network coverage provides digital health systems with new possibilities to address challenges associated with accessibility, quality, effectiveness, efficiency and cost of healthcare.
• mHealth will significantly change the healthcare consumers experiences regarding how they'll obtain information about health issues
• This will impact how consumers manage overall health and communicate with their physicians and their laboratory
• mHealth could improve quality, convenience, and reduce healthcare costs.
`IFCC COMMITTEE ON M-HEALTH AND
BIOENGINEERING IN LABORATORY MEDICINE (C-MHBLM)
• Terms of reference of the C-MHBLM
• 1. To review the current concepts of m-Health including broadband connectivity, software, digital networking, big data, mobile connectivity, smart infrastructure and even artificial intelligence to support the delivery of health and medical care for individuals and communities.
• 2. To promote the potential of m-health in laboratory medicine to improve service delivery for patients including more cost effective models of care, remote monitoring, improved access even over large distances and rapid data analyses and generation of knowledge.
• 3. To establish collaborations and partnerships with the other organizations concerned with e- Health /m-health and clinical societies and international organizations/bodies.
• 4. To promote an environment where digitally enabled and integrated systems help specialists in laboratory medicine to deliver patient-centered health experiences and quality health outcomes.
