How many physicians actually prescribe mobile health applications to their patients by writing an Rx or having a list to give to their patients? Believe it or not some patients do not know what is on the market and readily available for mhealth. Those who are familiar with mobile health and/or remote monitoring will look to you as an “expert” on mobile and remote monitoring.
If you are not an expert or have meager knowledge of this subject , and little time to research the subject you have two choices:
1. Assign responsibility to a staff member
2. Look at our resource white paper on mobile health, and remote monitoring.
3. Do both.
