mhealth services and mobile features

M-health , or mobile e-health as it is often referred, can be broadened from merely health information storing to more interesting features.


Mobiles already have so many features, i think like music lovers mobile vendors , have been introducing new music centered mobiles, they should concentrate on other domains as well. Like they can have a mobile phone for blind people with sensors to detect if there is an obstruction nearby or at what distance , so that their mobile phones can act as their walking sticks.


Similarly , other features regarding health can be implemented if they have some bio-sensors embedded to mobile for stress, blood sugar level, fatigue or weight management. They can also implement mobile thermometer. These features can be implemented in a mobile specifically for mhealth for care providers or health workers or embedded in mobiles for personal health care.


Other than this mhealth features , mobile phones are often stolen, mobile vendors should produce special mobiles for getting finger prints , which can be helpful for criminal investigation as well.
