Introducing “mHealth Development, Regulations, and Social Background in Japan, South Korea, and China: A Comparative Analysis”. This book, written by Kota Kodama and Shintaro Sengoku, provides an in-depth examination of the current status of mHealth development and regulations in Japan, South Korea, and China, while comparing it to the situation in the United States and the European Union. The authors also explore the social background surrounding mHealth and offer potential solutions to the issues that arise in this rapidly advancing field.

The advancements in mobile technology, particularly smartphones and smartwatches, have been nothing short of remarkable in recent years. These technological advancements have paved the way for the emergence of mobile health (mHealth) services, which utilize mobile technology to manage health and wellness. While the accuracy of medical devices used in mHealth may not yet match those used in traditional medicine, the ability to monitor biometric information such as heart rate and SpO2 over extended periods of time is a reality. However, despite the maturity of the technology, mHealth services are still not widely recognized as an approved form of medical care in most countries.

The United States has been at the forefront of mHealth development and social implementation. However, other countries, including Japan, South Korea, and China, are making significant progress in this field as well. In “mHealth Development, Regulations, and Social Background in Japan, South Korea, and China”, the authors discuss the need for global and harmonized regulations to facilitate the social implementation of mHealth. By comparing the regulatory reforms required in different regions, they shed light on the path forward.

One of the primary concerns surrounding mHealth is privacy. In the United States, the utilization of individuals’ usual behavior and biometric information by private companies has raised concerns among the public. Furthermore, the automated analysis of behavior and biometric data collected by smart devices, using AI technology like machine learning, adds another layer of complexity to the issue. The authors address these privacy concerns and discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by the analysis of personal data in mHealth.

Throughout the book’s 293 pages, readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the current state of mHealth development and regulations in Japan, South Korea, and China. The authors provide valuable insights into the social implications and privacy considerations associated with mHealth, offering a well-rounded perspective on the subject. The book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and technology enthusiasts interested in the future of healthcare.
