The Vodaphone Policy Paper Series No. 4 is a compilation of reports that look specifically at the contribution of Mobile phones in healthcare. The reports focus on the basic voice and text potential of mobile phones and identify opportunities for improved efficiency and effectiveness in service delivery where service provider-customer communication is important.
Moving the debate forward are reports made by experts who provide an analysis of the healthcare situation and their view on the contribution of Mobile phones in healthcare. Their analysis highlights three areas where mobile applications offer potential value to healthcare providers: Tracking inefficiencies in service provision by improving communication between service providers and users, improving the effectiveness of healthcare (and the risk of serious complications) through improved self-management and monitoring of patients with chronic conditions, and increasing the ability of hard-to-reach groups to access healthcare services by reducing the barriers of inconvenience, confidentiality, and privacy.
The Office of Health Economics (OHE) Consulting, contribute an overall analysis of healthcare costs in Western Europe and an assessment of potential applications of mobile phones in that context. Health Economists at the Tanaka Business School of Imperial College in London, NHS Direct, the University of Dundee and other institutions provide a series of case studies.
Reports included:
Upward Trend in Healthcare Spending
Analysis of Calls to NIH Direct
Review of Characteristics and Benefits of SMS in Delivering Helthcare
Potential Uses of SMS Applications for the Control of Tuberculosis
Use of Mobile Technologies to Enhance Control of Type 1 Diabetes in young People: Economic Evaluation
