Abstract: Healthcare service is an essential mechanism for the well-being of the elderly from physical, social and mental health. Implications of mobile technology for Electronic healthcare (eHealth) are challenges in technological management and healthcare market for developing countries. eHealth support trends of the aging population in Asia that increase at an average to 30% in 2050.There is a need to identify and develop Emergency Medical Service (EMS) with electronic healthcare for elderly. This research is aimed to develop eHealth service model through mobile technology for developing countries to face with elderly patient demands in aging societies. The authors use systematic reviews to identify component of health situation and EMS from WHO. Then they develop the eHealth service model through mobile technology on basic of value co-creation concept with feasible applications. The findings show that eHealth is a significant service platform influencing effective in Demand increasing quality of service to elderly people.
