Abstract
AbstractWith an increase in life expectancy, rising healthcare costs have burdened public finances. While some illnesses progress rapidly, others can be controlled by improving the quality of daily life. This chapter outlines an analysis of digital healthcare development in South Korea. Given the aging population, the healthcare industry has been expanding to support people in the pre-patient stage. Notable among them is the mHealth industry that involves the use of mobile devices. The present discussion of social issues, policies, regulations, and case studies facilitates an understanding of the industry’s formation and potential. A case study examines the utilization of the mobile healthcare services provided by public health centers in South Korea as the base model and the use of mHealth during COVID-19. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the potential of the government’s mHealth model.KeywordsmHealthRegulationPolicyPublic private partnershipHealthcare
