Authors Bhavani et al. organized the integration of pocket-size ultrasound (POCUS) with mHealth devices to deal with heart diseases. In the reporting, there were around a total of 253 patients with heart diseases, which are randomized into two groups of mHealth clinics and standard healthcare. The pocket-size echocardiography was used from remote on medical decision-making with patients who have valvular heart diseases. The mHealth devices are associated with minimum referral time for intervention and improved probability of intervention in comparison with standard healthcare. mHealth also decreases the death rate and hospitalization. In work, the authors have embedded POCUS with mHealth devices and verified that the embedding could be performed in previous medical clinics with the required clinical outcome.
