MOBILE HEALTH MONITORING
Introduction
Selection of research topic: Topic selected is mobile health monitoring app
Relevance of the topic
The topic hosen for this report is mobile health monitoring application.
This topic is chosen as importance of mobile health monitoring application in regular day
to day life has been increasing. Several issues have been detected in the functioning of the
hospital management system as per the traditional method (Silva et al, 2015). This increase in
redundancy in the health management process. With the help of the mobile health monitoring
app, dynamic communication in between the patients and doctors is enabled. Real time
communication process helps in communicating in a proper manner. This is one of the major
reason that acceptance of this technology has been really high. Ever evolving nature of the
technology has also been affecting the entire system in a positive manner (Anderson, Burford
and Emmerton 2016). Knowledge gap is present in this sector. Hence this report will be helping
in proper data gathering and portrayal that will help in better understanding of the technology.
With an increase in usage of smart phones, number of mobile health monitoring system has been
growing in a rapid rate. Over 325,000 mobile health monitoring calculated in the year 2017. Out
of all the apps, 52 apps that are most popular are chosen. It was seen that over 63.25% of the
total apps did not provide appropriate information regarding the intervention of the app, nearly
67.3% of the total apps are related to the processing of mobile health monitoring system did not
provide any information regarding the professional; credentials of the mobile health monitoring
app. 4% of the total health monitoring app has been providing proper data regarding the efficacy
data supporting process. Hence there has been a gap in literature. This report will help in

decreasing the literature gap. The global market of the mobile health monitoring app is getting
better financially. It is seen that the entire process of mobile health monitoring system was
valued at US$28.320 billion. It is also expected that the value of the entire system will be
US$102.35 billion by 2023 (Rickard et al, 2016). It is also noted that in the year 2014, only 14%
of the entire population was using the mobile heath monitoring system. It is expected that nearly
48% of the total population has been using this technology.
Future innovation
Mobile health monitoring application has been one of the most evolving technology and
has been developing in a very fast rate. With this fast rate of innovation introduction it can be
expected that mobile health monitoring system will be having technological growth in a very fast
rate. It is expected that in near future, the health monitoring app will be having a better
understanding regarding the issues detected in the app. It is expected that the monitoring app,
will be providing a first aid methodology to the patients (Payne et al, 2015). Another expected
innovation is detecting the location of the victim and hence helping them to find the nearest
hospital that is present around them. This will be helping in gaining of proper first aid system.
Background of the context
Mobile health monitoring app will help in better understanding the patients in
commencing of their treatments. This leads to the fact that management of the health related
issues can be performed in a better manner. With the help of the mobile health monitoring app
the main advantage that is received includes better imbibing of communication among the
patients and doctors. This imbibes the fact that proper understanding of the health related issues
can be detected in a better manner. This report will discuss about the technological innovation

that has been imbibed in the technology of mobile health monitoring system. Contextual issues
that are present in the system are also stated in the report. This report will also discuss about the
stakeholders that are present in the system. Factors that are affecting the innovation process of
the mobile health monitoring app is also stated in the report. This report will also discuss about
the benefits that will be enjoyed by the stakeholders and the users of the mobile health
monitoring app. Disadvantages that are present in the usage of the health monitoring app is also
stated in the report. Standardization and technical issues that are present in the mobile health
monitoring app is also stated in this app. Cost related issues are also stated in this report. Project
analysis along with SWOT analysis of the mobile health monitoring app will also be stated in the
app. Recommendations to mitigate the issues that are present in the mobile health monitoring
application will also be stated in this report.
Selected technological innovations
The technological innovations that are provided includes proper performance of the payer
provider analytics. In this case usage of quantitative data analytics has been performed. With the
help of the quantitative data analysis, proper understanding of the gap in between the doctors and
patients can be identified (Martínez-Pérez et al, 2015). Inclusion of artificial intelligence in the
health monitoring app is also one of the major innovation that is included in the process. Usage
of block chain for the processing of health care has been one of the major advantage that is
gained in order to transact data in an efficient manner. Usage of the Internet of Medical Things
have been an added innovation that has been affecting the technology in a positive manner.
Implementation of centralized monitoring system is one of the major aspects that commencement
of the project will get better as per the functioning of the entire monitoring app. Usage of the 5G
Mobile technology have been affecting the entire scenario as the functional process requires

proper communication in between the doctors and the patients (Van Deen et al, 2016). This
innovation has been highly responsible for better acceptance of the health monitoring app.
Contextual issues
The contextual issues of a mobile health monitoring system includes Economic factors,
Cognitive factors and political factors.
In case of the economic factor, the main issue that is present incudes the fact that the cost
that is incurred in the processing off the mobile health monitoring app is very high. It is not
possible for all common people to hire the mobile monitoring app (Krebs and Duncan 2015).
This is one of the issue that affects the functioning of the acceptance of the product.
In case of governmental factors, the main issue that is present is that government bodies
are not well possessed with the robustness of the entire system. This is one of the major aspect
that usage of the mobile health monitoring app will not get used. This insists the fact that
functioning of the project gets less accepted by many (Semple et al, 2015). In case proper
robustness is provided in the product, government will take into consideration the usage of the
mobile health recording application.
In case of cognitive factors, the main issue that is present include complex functional
process of the mobile health monitoring app. This has been leading to least usage of the
application.
