Study: Mobile health will grow, despite barriers

The biggest challenges to widespread mobile health adoption in the United States are reimbursement and lack of regulatory clarification. However, despite these challenges, the mobile health industry is expected to experience tremendous growth over the next few years and address many of the disparities plaguing healthcare, according to a report by the Brookings Institute that looked at the mobile health market in both the U.S. and China. The report found that the mobile health industry in both countries will account for more than one-third of the entire world market by 2017.
