Abstract: The World Health Organization (WHO) describes mHealth as the “medical and public health practice supported by mobile devices, such as mobile phones, patient monitoring devices, personal digital assistances and other wireless devices” [7], and has recognized the potential of electronic-Health “to improve quality, safety and access to care” [8].
