The European Commission is launching a consultation on #mHealth or mobile health, asking for help in finding ways to enhance the health and wellbeing of Europeans with the use of mobile devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, patient monitoring devices and other wireless devices.
The Commission is inviting comments on the barriers and issues related to the use of mHealth. Your input will help identify the right way forward to unlock the potential of mobile health in the EU. The Commission also publishes a Staff Working Document on the existing EU legal framework applicable to lifestyle and wellbeing apps, aiming at providing simple guidance to app developers on EU legislation in the field.
The objective of this consultation is to receive the views of:
- regional and national authorities e.g. health ministries, authorities dealing with medical devices/data protection
- health professionals, carers, health practitioners, medical associations
- consumers, users of mHealth apps, patients and their associations
- web entrepreneurs
- app developers and app stores
- manufacturers of mobile devices
- insurance agencies
- sports centres, health clubs, etc.
This is not an exhaustive list – we welcome replies from all interested parties.
