Global Observatory for eHealth series - Volume 4

Safety and security on the Internet: challenges and advances in Member States

Global Observatory for eHealth series - Volume 1

This publication presents data on the 114 WHO Member States that participated in the 2009 global survey on eHealth. Intended as a reference to the state of eHealth development in Member States, the publication highlights selected indicators in the form of country profiles.

The objectives of the country profiles are to:

  • describe the current status of the use of ICT for health in Member States; and
  • provide information concerning the progress of eHealth applications in these countries.

Using mobile technologies to more rapidly and accurately assess and modify behavior, biological states and contextual variables has great potential to transform medical research. Recent advances in mobile technologies and the ubiquitous nature of these technologies in daily life (e.g., smart phones, sensors) have created opportunities for research applications that were not previously possible (e.g., simultaneously assessing behavioral, physiological, and psychological states in the real world and in real-time). Importantly, much of the work being done in mHealth arises from siloed fields with a focus on the creation of high end products with little reference to behavior theory or to potential application in biomedical settings. Products uninformed by research, will not be maximally effective.
