Incorporating mHealth into routine care 'potentially transformational' despite challenges

Increased demand for wearables may cause providers to face an overflow of patient data, they add. That "tsunami" of information will lead to issues such as a potential need for constant oversight and the need to summarize all the data into a usable and meaningful format.

A recent Parks Associates study reports just 5 percent of U.S. broadband households are home to a smartwatch providing health and fitness tracking features, and 8 percent of households are using a digital fitness activity tracker such as a pedometer.

From the article "Incorporating mHealth into routine care 'potentially transformational' despite challenges" by Judy Mottl.
