Abstract

Existing typical applications of mHealth include behavioral change through remote intervention, information and data collection and integration, logistical support, service substitution and efficiency of healthcare workers, management and settlement of healthcare costs, and support for healthcare institution management. Some concrete examples of each of these types are provided, and their current status and development prospects in Japan are described. The status of mHealth applications as regulated medical devices, the meaning of health promotion applications in the Japanese context, and the investigation of the funding of Japanese mHealth start-ups are described.
