Introduction:The use of mobile-health (m-health) technology in public health is rapidly growing in developing countries. Objective: The objective of this study was to critically analyze the role and incorporation of m-health into public health systems of developing countries. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of related studies in the literature published in the last 10 years on key search word "m-health role in developing countries" was conducted using abstracting databases such as PubMed, World Health Organization, Cochrane, Google scholar and Bio-med Central. m-health studies on impact, effectiveness and evaluation of m-health in public health were the three main criteria's taken for inclusion and studies on m-health in developed world as well data from thesis/dissertation were excluded in this review. This study is unique in methodology as similar kind of studies with this type of method and focus has not been carried out previously in the literature. Results and Discussion: From 23 articles, which fi nally met the inclusion criteria it was found that, a variety of m-health applications and m-health strategies are available in the mobile phone market of developing countries; however, lack of appropriate governmental regulation and oversight from health-care authorities are impacting the results in terms of costs, benefi ts and utility of these applications. Conclusions: m-health technology has the potential to impact greater health-care access to larger segments of rural populations and an improved capacity to meet the demand in developing countries as seen from Indian strategies, provided it is also intelligently used for improving health-care of people in developing countries.

The aging population with chronic and age-related diseases has become a global issue and exerted heavy burdens on the healthcare system and society. Neurological diseases are the leading chronic diseases in the geriatric population, and stroke is the leading cause of death in China. However, the uneven distribution of caregivers and critical healthcare workforce shortages are major obstacles to improving disease outcome. With the advancement of wearable health devices, cloud computing, mobile technologies and Internet of Things, mobile health (mHealth) is rapidly developing and shows a promising future in the management of chronic diseases. Its advantages include its ability to improve the quality of care, reduce the costs of care, and improve treatment outcomes by transferring in-hospital treatment to patient-centered medical treatment at home. mHealth could also enhance the international cooperation of medical providers in different time zones and the sharing of high-quality medical service resources between developed and developing countries. In this review, we focus on trends in mHealth and its clinical applications for the prevention and treatment of diseases, especially aging-related neurological diseases, and on the opportunities and challenges of mHealth in China. Operating models of mHealth in disease management are proposed; these models may benefit those who work within the mHealth system in developing countries and developed countries.

“…According to that study, the advantages of using a mobile approach to reduce stress could be an incremental acquisition of coping skills in an autonomous way, a ubiquitous and effective support in facing daily stressful situations, an enhancement of people’s compliance and the possibility of living graded-exposure experiences while overcoming the difficulties related to the application of coping techniques within a clinical setting. Moreover, thanks to the recent progress in the sophistication and in the usability of biosensor technology wirelessly connected to mobile platform, it is now possible to set up a multimodal assessment of stress levels, including psychological, physiological, behavioral, and contextual data [58-61]. …”

BackgroundPsychological stress occurs when an individual perceives that environmental demands tax or exceed his or her adaptive capacity. Its association with severe health and emotional diseases, points out the necessity to find new efficient strategies to treat it. Moreover, psychological stress is a very personal problem and requires training focused on the specific needs of individuals. To overcome the above limitations, the INTERSTRESS project suggests the adoption of a new paradigm for e-health - Interreality - that integrates contextualized assessment and treatment within a hybrid environment, bridging the physical and the virtual worlds. According to this premise, the aim of this study is to investigate the advantages of using advanced technologies, in combination with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), based on a protocol for reducing psychological stress.Methods/DesignThe study is designed as a randomized controlled trial. It includes three groups of approximately 50 subjects each who suffer from psychological stress: (1) the experimental group, (2) the control group, (3) the waiting list group. Participants included in the experimental group will receive a treatment based on cognitive behavioral techniques combined with virtual reality, biofeedback and mobile phone, while the control group will receive traditional stress management CBT-based training, without the use of new technologies. The wait-list group will be reassessed and compared with the two other groups five weeks after the initial evaluation. After the reassessment, the wait-list patients will randomly receive one of the two other treatments. Psychometric and physiological outcomes will serve as quantitative dependent variables, while subjective reports of participants will be used as the qualitative dependent variable.DiscussionWhat we would like to show with the present trial is that bridging virtual experiences, used to learn coping skills and emotional regulation, with real experiences using advanced technologies (virtual reality, advanced sensors and smartphones) is a feasible way to address actual limitations of existing protocols for psychological stress.Trial registrationhttp://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01683617
