Mobile health (m-health) is now widely considered as one of the main vertical areas of telecommunications industry, attracting multiple of billion US$ in global investments worldwide in different healthcare delivery services from health and wellness monitoring to remote medical imaging. Together with medical sensing, computing, the advances in wireless communication and network technologies constitute the key elements required for the realization elements of the necessary building blocks of any m-health reference model and system. Currently, the interest and focus on the ongoing developments in 5G mobile communications combined with their Internet-of-Things connectivity challenges, have been the focus of extensive debate and research efforts both from industry and academia worldwide. However, little has been discussed so far and presented on the relevant challenges of these developments and their impact from the mobile health perspective. This talk will present an overview of the future of mobile health (m-health 2.0) and the challenging aspects related to the futuristic scenarios and applications from the emerging healthcare delivery domains that these technologies will present. These futuristic scenarios and challenges particularly using 5G communications networks and their Machine-To-Machine communications from the m-health 2.0 perspective, will be vital for the continuation of the mobile health domain as force majeure within global telecommunications industry. The presentation will reflect the outcomes of two decades of advanced research and development experience of the speaker in the areas of mobile health and his pioneering work in this domain.
