Abstract

Mobile health (mHealth) technology encompasses a wide range of potential clinical tools, with end-users ranging from the individual patient to national healthcare systems. This chapter focuses on mHealth with the patient as the end-user. It describes mHealth applications studied within solid organ transplant, as well as applications that have been used in non-transplant patients with chronic diseases common in transplant. It also provides an overview of fundamental necessities for successful mHealth systems and provides a roadmap to addressing current barriers to widespread study and implementation of mHealth.
