Abstract

The rate of adoption of mobile phones by the masses as a preferred mode of communication is on an upward spiral across the globe and India is no exception. Mobile devices have now acquired the status of a basic need instead of being just an auxiliary and luxury gadget. Mobile networks are the most pervasive communication platform that exists today and could be used as one of the most efficacious media to interconnect providers, practitioners and other stakeholders to a substantially large number of consumers in the healthcare system. This study emphasizes the inter-connectedness between mobile phone services and access to the healthcare in this century of rapid information and human circulation. This article simultaneously explores the ‘potentialities’ of mHealth in improving the outreach of health based service facilities.
