Mobile is becoming ubiquitous in the Healthcare industry, playing a significant role as the industry continues to adopt a patient-centred approach. Healthcare leaders are now seeking to improve the patient experience through tailoring patient engagement strategies to meet the expectations of their digital savvy patients.

In particular, mobile health (mHealth) has introduced new and innovative approaches in healthcare that support patient engagement and value-based care models.
