The boundaries explored by mHealth

Covid forced us to search for novel ways to improve healthcare services. mHealth provided a robust answer to the situation, and it helped us recover our lifestyles and opened up doors to a myriad of opportunities. The contract tracing in digital form was introduced thanks to the conjugation of healthcare into smartphones. This allowed the epidemiologists to monitor and control the diseases better.

Another new exploration was with the fitness apps, and these helped patients and common people monitor their vitals and check their progress daily. Using sensors, the mHealth fitness tracking devices could even help us with our daily diet regime, calories burnt, or water intake. Using smartphones, many healthcare applications did wonders using sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, thermometers, magnetometers, and even blood pressure monitors. Some advanced phones even used hall effect sensors, barometers, or proximity sensors, further revolutionizing the way we monitored health.
