I. Introduction
Significance of research
Many opportunities arise in the healthcare sector to develop apps that can provide benefit in
this field. A mobile health solution is another name for such apps. They are also abbreviated
as m- health solutions. This is one of those advancements in healthcare that has given a new
hope for betterment in the field. It imparts a whole new level of creativity for healthcare
facilities. Just like technology has made the world a smaller place by bringing people from
across the globe closer to each other, m- health solutions have facilitated easy medical
services for people who live far away and wish to avail healthcare facilities with ease[1]. This
way, many organizational hurdles are dealt with in an effective manner.
The rise in M-health solutions has had an immensely positive impact on the alerting system,
data collection about clinical reports and administrative system, preserving the record of a
patient's past history, spreading knowledge, and making people aware of different health care
programs[2]. This way, the healthcare industry has been revolutionized. People nowadays are
more aware of their medical information. Some other factors which are affected by the M-
healthcare solutions are the prevention of diseases by means of vaccines or medicines,
rehabilitation facilities for drug addicts, and theft[3].
In order to use the app effectively, all the functions need to work properly. For this, a smooth
internet connection and web facilities are required in order to enable a hassle-free
communication between doctors and patients and enforce a proper integration between them.
The best part is that both the doctors and the patients have an easy access to the past records
and medical history of the patient with the help of their computers and smart phones or
tablets[4]. In order to ensure a smooth functioning of services related to healthcare, the
doctors and patients can also check the appointments online. This will avoid clashes and
