Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the healthcare system which needs to be permanently adapted to the newest technologies in order to assure the quality and performance improvements of the medical services. The mobile environment adaption in telemedicine has developed a new domain named m-Health. In the end of the paper I’ll briefly introduce my proposed pilot development of a mobile health application. My ongoing research has been focused upon conceiving a way to increase the efficiency and quality of the medical care system from the physician’s point of view.
