Course content
Digital health technologies are driving change towards a more individually-centered, self-responsible, and empowered health care (Banos et al., 2016), enhancing not only the accessibility of health information but also making health delivery more efficient and precise(Bhavnani et al., 2016).
With a mHealth market share of 6.7 %, drivers of mHealth popularity are multiple and concern its vast array of applicability, ranging from remote monitoring, diagnosing symptoms, consulting doctors, and complying with treatment or dietary regimes (Statista,2017). mHealth, however, does not only benefit individuals; there are also benefits for the health care system, as mHealth holds the potential to reduce healthcare costs and doctor consultations, examinations as well as the length of hospital stays (Statista, 2017).
