Health care professionals will be able to give patients the option to use these mHealth services, as an integral part of the patient care process, while patients will have access to personalised support, as well as coaching and treatment support to help manage their medication and lifestyle changes, and track their treatment progress.

Astra Zeneca has selected Vodafone based on its experience in delivering, and ability to scale, mHealth services.

Vodafone Machine to Machine director Erik Brenneis said bringing together connectivity with treatment and education will create effective outcomes for patients.

"AstraZeneca is a global leader in the mHealth field and we are delighted to work with them to develop these innovative services," Brenneis said.
