From 2017 to 2023, the Hub served as a central platform for collecting, curating, and disseminating best practices on mHealth. It provided
technical and strategic support to Member States on implementing and scaling mHealth initiatives. The Hub also conducted research to identify
key enablers and barriers to adoption, while helping define
standards,
policy objectives, and
regulatory considerations relevant to mHealth in the European context.
