Mobile and wireless technologies have been on the rapid increase and their applications in social sectors of life have also been growing. In the health care management, these wireless and mobile technologies have provided the possibility to prevent disease, improve treatment, advance health research, enhance diagnosis of diseases, reduce disparities, and increase patients access to the much needed health services and lower cost of health care service provision in ways previously unimaginable. Continuous biological, real-time, behavioral, and environmental data collected by wireless and mobile technologies may tremendously be used to advance our understanding of the health issues and disease, especially when combined with data from areas such as electronic medical records and genomics
