IT plays a critical role in health care industry. IT helps people to reach the health services to remote areas. With a chronic shortage of nurses and pharmacists, IT will contribute to making hospital work flows more efficient. Health care provides lot of opportunities for mobile and wireless solution providers, including pharmaceutical sales, hospital operations, prescription and drug management, urgent messaging, medical-equipment sales and service, and supply-chain management.

 Privacy and security of patient should be maintained. Several legacy systems should be integrated to provide the better health care services. There are several databases which provide health care information online. Integration of those systems with the mobile user interface applications will make the people use their mobiles for medical data retrieval such as medicines.
