Preface
This book is dedicated to students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
who strive for the development and implementation of AI technology in the
mHealth field. Our purpose of this book is to raise awareness of regulation devel-
opment as well technological development must be more conscious with user
information including biometric information which has potential of being revealed
to the third party. This book serves as a platform for comprehensive visualiza-
tion and discussion of global regulations regards to mHealth. We hope that many
local governments, school institutions, and companies will cooperate in establish-
ing regulations and rules that guarantee efficient safety, which will become clear
as discussions progress.
This book is consisted of two parts. The first half of the chapter follows by
comparing the regulations dedicated to mHealth in each region. The latter half of
the chapters consists of the case study of successful mHealth development and its
implementation to people. The AI technology in the mHealth field is still consid-
ered in the early stage of its development. Moreover, we believe that to create a
future where our health can be accessible and easy to monitor on us with the help
of professionals, it is necessary for the development of how we can develop, use,
and implement it. Through discussing different aspects of the matter with this, we
hope to help you with the standardized ideas for people who will improve in the
coming years.
