Hey all,
I came across an interesting article that talked about the growing use and benefits of mHealth in the Middle East. According to a UAE report in the article, "93% of them believe that the mobile health industry can improve the quality and availability of health care in the Middle East." It talked about different apps such as "faselty, an app which aims to make it easy to connect blood donors with people in need, on the go. Another example available in Egypt is Es3efny, providing a means of communication between ambulances and hospitals, using the Android platform." Also in Egypt, they are launching an app called mobile baby which allows doctors to send ultrasound images and results directly to their phones from the machine. With the ever growing population of smart phone users, and the new technologies they will be able to provide the whole as a whole, not just the middle east, will benefit tremendously. I posted the full article below...
