This particular ‘known unknown’ is presented in detail in order to provide a rapprochement framework of this correlation and valid presentations between the two areas. However, to date, no clear or scientific views are discussed or analyzed on the actual differences and correlation aspects between digital and mobile health.
The collateral damage of this process was the increased shift towards understanding ‘digital health’ as a conjecture term associated with mobile health. These issues had surreptitiously contributed to this reorientation and the widening schism of m-Health. These are presented in this paper as the ‘known unknowns’ or ‘the obvious but sanctioned facts’ of m-Health. This powerful yet misguided evolution of the m-Health was driven essentially by complex factors. This divergence was more evident in low and middle income (LMIC) countries compared to the developed world. This also led to increased global m-Health inequality and divide between the much-perceived health and patient benefits and the markets of m-Health.
This schism was sustained by the continued domination of the former on the expense of the latter. However, this divergence between ‘mobile health capitalism’ and the ‘science of mobile health’ led to the creation of the ‘m-Health schism’. The global consumerization of m-Health in numerous disciplines of healthcare, fitness and wellness areas is unprecedented. However, this profound vision became a fleeting view since the inception and domination of smart phones, and the reorientation of the concept towards the exclusivity of global smart phone application markets and services. For nearly two decades, mobile health or (m-Health) was hailed as the most innovative and enabling area for the digital transformation of healthcare globally.
