This book presents a state-of-the-art overview of the available and
emerging mobile technologies and explores how these technologies
can serve as support tools in enhancing user participation in
health care and promoting well-being in the daily lives of
individuals, thereby reducing the burden of chronic disease on the
health care system. The analysis is supported by presentation of a
variety of case studies on the ways in which mobile technologies
can be used to increase connectivity with health care providers and
relevant others in order to promote healthy lifestyles and improve
service provision. Detailed information is also provided on a
sample project in which a set of tools has been used by teens at
risk of obesity to record their sociopsychological environment and
everyday health routines. Specifically, it is evaluated whether
video diaries, created using a mobile platform and shared in real
time via a social network, assist subjects in confronting obesity
as a chronic disease. The book will be of interest to all who wish
to understand the impressive potential of mobile health or to
conduct research in the field.
