Results of the study indicate that mHealth services has great potential in chronic diseases caring whenever used well. However, the finding of this research also indicates that matter involving patient’s safety and patient’s rights to privacy, data confidentiality, and issue of therapeutic relationship, reliability and accuracy in data are areas that need continuous analyzation throughout the use of mHeath technology.
