Mobile Health Technology

The use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets to deliver health services, information, and interventions. In accessibility contexts, mobile health technology is significant because smartphones are often the most accessible and affordable computing device available to people in developing nations and underserved communities. mHealth applications can provide health monitoring, reminders, educational content, and connection to healthcare providers. Accessible mHealth design must consider diverse user needs including low literacy, limited connectivity, and varying levels of digital skills, as well as accommodating users with disabilities through proper use of platform accessibility features.
