mHealth scorecard methodology
• Provides an overview of the countries surveyed and the maturity of their mHealth market through four key pillars. Each pillar is further divided into eight dimensions to support the findings • Survey questions are grouped into the eight dimensions • Each country receives a score per pillar and dimension, and an overall score Overall Score - Maturity of the market Four Pillars
1. Awareness and openness for mHealth 2. Regulatory, reimbursement and business model 3. Technology 4. Impact
Eight Dimensions
1.1 Encouraging environment 1.2 Current use of mHealth

Encouraging environment Current use of mHealth
most mature immature
• The emerging markets score high in doctors encouraging patients to use mHealth as well as patients using mHealth solutions • The most established mHealth market today, the US, scores very low in awareness and openness of mHealth. The same could be said of the UK. Reasons may be due to physicians who are already using mHealth are more aware of its possible drawbacks

Reimbursement and business model Encouraging regulatoryand legal environment
• Developed and emerging countries have no significant differences on reimbursement, and the regulatory and legal environment • According to survey respondents, too few proven business models and an unsupportive regulatory environment are key barriers to mHealth • China’s score is the lowest for both dimensions in this pillar, with 83% indicating there are too few proven business models (survey average is 64%)

most mature immature
• In technology, the developed markets e.g., US, Denmark or Germany are ahead • The higher smartphone penetration, a much higher emphasis on interoperability with existing systems, as well as a more advanced access and security features lead to a perception of high readiness for mHealth from a technological point of view

Impact on institution Impact on Healthcare system
• The emerging markets and the US score high in this pillar • The impact on institutions is measured by the expected impact on medical care, on the relationships with patients and on internal operations. For example, 92% of physicians in India expected a noticeable effect of mHealth in 3 years. In Denmark, only 80% believe this is the case • The impact on healthcare can be illustrated by the following figure: 52% of physicians in India believe the widespread adoption of mHealth is inevitable, vs. 34% in Denmark

Finding #9 – Technology still presents challenges for mHealth adopters
47%
of surveyed physicians say that mHealth applications they use will not work with their organisation’s IT
