Editor's Notes
- #5 Allows healthcare data to be captured and provided any where and any time Healthcare data on mobile devices is healthcare data on the move The term is most commonly used in reference to using mobile communication devices, such as mobile phones and PDAs, for health services and information

- #7 Personal Health Records can be web based or app based records. If I use an app to record what I eat, how much I weigh etc… that app becomes my personal health record. Many personal health records do not connect with Electronic Health Records because that requires more complex and expensive back end development

- #9 An electronic health record is a collection of patient health information generated by one or more meetings in any care delivery setting. An EHR typically includes patient demographics, progress notes, problems, medications, vital signs, past medical history, immunizations, laboratory data and radiology reports. It’s said to streamline clinicians’ workflow, and it has the ability to generate a complete record of a clinical patient encounter. EHRs focus on the total health of the patient. They go beyond standard clinical data collected in the provider’s office and include a broader view of the patient’s care. EHRs are designed to reach beyond the health organization that originally collected the data and are built to share information with other providers. EHRs’ most notable benefit include a secure sharing of data, which, in turn, results in more open communication and more involvement on the patient’s part. http://www.healthit.gov/buzz-blog/electronic-health-and-medical-records/emr-vs-ehr-difference/

- #11 We connect through a screen wherever we are. That can include a desktop, a laptop, tablet, Smart Phone, device etc.. An electronic health record (EHR) is built to share information with other health care providers, such as laboratories and specialists. They contain information from all the clinicians involved in the patient’s care and authorized clinicians can access the information they need, to provide care to that patient. A personal health record (PHR) contains the same types of information as a electronic health record—diagnoses, medications, immunizations, family medical history, and contact information for providers—but it is designed to be set up and accessed by patients themselves.
- #12 Who are the biggest users of mobile health? Men are slightly higher users The majority of mobile health users have a Smartphone Over half have downloaded a health related app 30% of app users have uninstalled an app because they learned it was collecting personal information that they did not wish to share. An important point to note is that 85% use social media for health
- #13 The good news is that 15 percent of younger cell phone users (18-29) and urban African-American users had health apps on their phone, at least in September 2010, according to a Pew report from November 2011. But that also meant that only 8 percent of cell phone users aged 30-49 -- ages at which health issues are more likely to arise -- downloaded mobile health apps. What mhealth does is encourage and provide a means for engagement of the patient to be involved with their health.
- #14 Mobile devices offer remarkably attractive low-cost, real-time ways to assess disease, movement, images, behavior, social interactions, environmental toxins, metabolites and a host of other physiological variables. Many mHealth technologies could be put to highly innovative uses in biomedical research; at the same time, biomedical research could help build the foundation of evidence that so many mHealth applications currently lack.

- #18 In May, through a study Katz began with nearby Howard University Hospital's diabetes clinic, Harvey received a Web-based personal health record that he clicks onto using his cell phone, to record his daily blood sugar measurements. If Harvey enters a reading higher or lower than preset danger thresholds, a text message automatically pings a warning, telling him what to do. And at checkups, doctors will use the personal health record, created by Indiana-based NoMoreClipboard.com, to track all his fluctuations and decide what next steps to advise.

- #21 http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/Overview/ClassifyYourDevice/ucm051512.htm Review the differences and advantages of devices over apps The FDA’s guidelines do not indicate that every health-related app will require FDA approval. For instance, a calorie-counting or healthy-eating app may not need approval from the FDA. Only true “medical apps”, where inaccuracies or bugs could cause great economic and personal loss, would need to seek FDA approval to be sold. An example of a medical app is an ECG regulator used by doctors in hospitals or remotely by patients at home. The new regulation process is consistent with the FDA’s current medical software regulations and would liken itself to pre-existing medical device regulation protocols.

- #25 While the term "consumer health IT applications" is not yet well-defined, in general, it refers to a wide range of hardware, software, and Web-based applications that allows patients to participate in their own health care via electronic means. The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) has developed a working definition for the field of consumer health informatics stating that it is "a subspecialty of medical informatics which studies from a patient/consumer perspective the use of electronic information and communication to improve medical outcomes and the health care decision-making process." [1] In addition, as defined by Eysenbach, the study of consumer health informatics includes analyzing consumers' information needs, studying and implementing methods of making information accessible to consumers, and modeling and integrating consumers' preferences into medical information systems.
