The healthcare system can be difficult to navigate for people with chronic conditions. Remaining up-to-date on patients’ health data can also be a challenge for healthcare professionals. Dr Bertrand Lebouché and his team at the McGill University Health Centre are working to better meet the needs, preferences, and specific circumstances of people living with HIV and their healthcare professionals through mobile health (mHealth).

With the growing use of smartphone technology, mHealth offers a highly flexible approach to promote self-management, offer guidance, enable easy access to health records, and improve communication with healthcare providers. This may empower patients to be more involved in decision-making about their health.
