The document discusses the potential for mobile health (mHealth) technology to help improve health outcomes in New Zealand. It notes that mHealth could help address challenges like reducing costs and meeting government health targets by using mobile phones for tasks like appointment reminders, test results delivery, immunization reminders, and chronic disease management. As an example, one district health board saw immunization rates increase after implementing a text messaging reminder system. Another health board reduced no-show rates for appointments by 10% by sending reminders via text.
