Mobile Healthcare: What Comes Next and Why You Must Care

Based on a recent survey, about 80% of physicians use smartphones for work reasons. The connectivity, accessibility, mobility, and smartness inherent to mobile devices have bolstered a more closed integration between hospital and home. How will this integration enhance the quality of medical services and facilitate the efficient distribution of medical resources?
