E-health based on mobile wireless networks is called mobile e-health. Mobile e-health can facilitate computer-supported cooperative work, which encompasses tasks from email and instant messaging to wireless information sharing through broadband and telecommunication networks. In the development of cooperative management systems, the concept of ‘awareness level’ has been introduced. This is based on factors such as the location and actions of the user involved. Mobile e-health can help to achieve cooperation by providing the right awareness levels at the right time. The improved awareness levels allow health professionals to provide patient care with better quality and efficiency. Mobile e-health systems have the potential to take over the mundane tasks of the doctor so that better quality health services can be provided.
