Mobile technology is valuable, but has to be used in ways that provide value to patients and the medical community. HealthMaker Robert Bollinger, MD, explains why this is important to outcomes in this video.
You have to use it in the right way, in the right situation, and I don't think that's unique, to M technology, I think there's lots of technical tools lots of type's, of Mhealth programs, Mhealth device,s point of care diagnostic devices, that can be leveraged. The challenge is to keep our eye on what our goals are, which is improving health outcomes, so we have to measure those, we can't just push technology and content into the community without having real metrics that matter, that matter not only to those are delivering a services, but matter most to the communities, patients need to see the value of using technology or having their providers use technology, if it's going to be a sustainable or scalable program.
