Abstract

This book consists of the first half, which analyzes and compares the regulations, product development status, and acceptance status of mHealth in developed countries, and the second half, which explains the details of mHealth applications, including those in fields other than medicine. In this section, we will review and organize the first half of the book, discuss the overall structure of the book, and consider the significance of the book. Particularly, we will discuss the possibility of a paradigm shift in the medical social system by mHealth and the problems for social implementation.
