Mobile Device Use by Patients
Health care providers are not the only ones using mobile devices. Patients use mobile devices to find information as well as to track and store their personal health information. The following article takes a look at how mobile devices are used by consumers of health care. http://www.informationweek.com/healthcare/patient/more-consumers-get-health-info-on-mobile/240008624
Privacy and Mobile health apps
Mobile devices are increasingly used by patients to store and share their personal health information. Current apps generally don't address HIPAA and security issues and therefore there aren't restrictions on what App developers do with the information gathered. With privacy concerns and sharing of patient information, see what guidance the FDA has on mobile health platforms at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/ucm263280.htm.
