Recently, with Coronavirus, mobile applications are becoming more important especially these days because all people stay at home and they couldn't visit the hospital, and the clinic outside becomes a danger. So the use of mobile phone technologies is becoming more and more beneficial for patient care. Mobile technology has the potential to affect health care. The increasing number of people suffering from chronic diseases is putting pressure on the healthcare sector. Population aging is now a major health care concern in many countries of the world. Elderly patients need more healthcare efforts that imply higher healthcare costs, because of that a set of applications have been developed that help care for patients from their homes. In this paper, many mobile healthcare applications are discussedin order to be identified and used to build a new system that helps care for patients from home.

Health Care Applications

Mobile Healthcare, or mHealth, involves the use of mobile devices in healthcare. It is considered a revolutionary approach to delivering health care services such as diagnosis and treatment, research, and patient monitoring. Much of its revolutionary reach is due to the widespread adoption of mobile devices such as mobile smart phones and tablets such as the Apple Ipad. It is estimated that there are over five billion mobile devices in use throughout the world. In terms of demographics, in the United States, it is estimated that five out of seven Medicaid patients carry a mobile smart phone. One result of this mobile reach is the ability to provide healthcare services to people nonambulatory and isolated in their homes, and in underdeveloped and emerging countries, in ways that were previously cost prohibitive. mHealth is also seen as a way to emphasize prevention through mobile monitoring devices and thereby reduce the overall cost of healthcare. mHealth is viewed as changing the healthcare landscape by changing the relationship between the patient, healthcare provider, and between healthcare providers. “A new generation of eHealth products and services, based on wireless and mobile technology, is putting diagnosis and treatment management into the hands of the patient” (The Mobile Health Crowd, 2010). There is clearly a growing interest in, and emphasis on, mobile healthcare applications in the world today by vendors, physicians and patients. It is predicted that the mobile health application market alone will be worth over $84 million, and that by the year 2015, more than 500 million people will be actively using mobile health care applications (Merrill, 2011; Merrill, 2011b).

Mobile devices and applications are becoming popular in today’s society. The number of applications available to both the patient and the healthcare provider is changing the way healthcare is being delivered and consumed. The integration of mobile devices into every-day lives is driving the changes in healthcare. While all areas of medicine are being impacted, changes are mostly of chronic care, long term care and any place that causes a need for constant data, monitoring or training. The acceptance of mobile devices by healthcare consumers within wide range of age and socioeconomic circumstances is reason to look at mobile technology as the future of healthcare. While increased use of mobile applications are welcomed by most providers and consumers alike, there is a need to systematize the study of its use. The authors provide a framework for considering mobile applications in healthcare, based on their risk-profile. They accomplish this by first identifying and classifying the mobile healthcare applications.

Data Limitations

Rural communities are often overlooked when it comes to offering cutting edge consumer healthcare technologies. Mobile applications usually exclude populations in rural demographics due to the infrastructure requirements and available technology in the region. The population studied is a low income rural health plan in southwest Georgia. They are uniquely considered as they have the highest healthcare costs in the U.S. and are compared to healthcare costs among higher income populations like Vail, Colorado. Innovations, such as mobile healthcare applications, have the capacity to offset some of these costs, but even if adoption occurs, this does not guarantee use will naturally follow. This study explores the creation and development of a mobile healthcare application (i.e., the platform) and measurement of the assimilation gap in the use of the adopted platform. The platform was designed to simplify the access to use opportunities between consumers and providers of care with the long-term goal of reducing healthcare costs. The use opportunities measured in this platform are telemedicine visits and electronic appointment setting. This research presents a process for influencing assimilation gaps in healthcare platforms. Measurement techniques for successful healthcare platform programs are constrained due to data limitations. Building on existing assimilation gap research and designing artifacts that include nudging techniques, this study identifies concepts that display assimilation gap narrowing methods that improve healthcare platform design. Using elaborated action design research (EADR), each artifact design cycle follows a process map to improve adoption and use. The research discovers how adoptable a healthcare platform (CareValet) is within a rural population, which strategies most promote adoption, and what strategies might best support use improvement. In this study, platform adoption is compared as the relative value against each use metric for key stakeholders including consumers (e.g., health plan members), clients (e.g., employer or health plan), and platform developers. Research contributions include the development of assimilation gap narrowing methods and return on investment (ROI) value graphing tools associated with platform use.

El «daño» o brujería como práctica social y como evento social reflexivo en el mundo de vida de los sujetos tiene, en el contexto de la práctica comunicativa, géneros discursivos que le son propios, específicos del intercambio social de un determinado grupo. El presente trabajo da cuenta de la particularidad de este género en un conjunto social subalterno de la periferia urbana de Cuernavaca, quienes a través de ciertas variantes del habla expresan en código este prominente factor de riesgo a su salud. El conocimiento de estos códigos culturales restringidos permite situar los procesos de salud, enfermedad y atención en su complejidad de significados y prácticas socioculturales.    ABSTRACT El daño or witchcraft—as a social practice and a reflective social event in the world composed of the lives of subjects—has, in the context of communication practice, its own discursive genres that are specific to the social interaction within a determined group. This article describes the particularity of this genre in a subordinated social context in the urban periphery of Cuernavaca, where through certain variations in spoken language, this major health risk factor is expressed in codes. Knowledge of these restricted cultural codes allows for identifying the complexity of sociocultural meanings and practices characterizing the processes of health, illness and health care.
