The adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the health sector led to the conception of electronic health (e-Health), which contributed to the reduction of costs and the increase of efficiency. Following the consolidation of e-Health, the widespread use of mobile devices with self-locating and communication capabilities (e.g., smartphones) opens the door to a new concept of health – mobile health (m-Health ), which can be understood as the provision of health services through mobile devices. On the other hand, ICTs are used by local and regional governments to encourage the deployment of so-called Smart Cities. M-Health has extraordinary potential, as it adds to the benefits of e-Health all the benefits related to the ubiquity of mobile devices. Because m-Health and Smart Cities are studied independently, they have rarely converged on common points of contact in the world of scientific research. However, we believe that the infrastructure and technologies of smart cities could be harnessed and mixed with the concepts of m-Health and telemedicine to create a new and much more powerful concept: Smart Health. The research group applies these concepts to improve people’s quality of life, care, health, and medical processes.
