Abstract: Abstract As the most populous country globally, China has continuously faced the challenge of having insufficient medical resources, however, with the rising popularity of smartphones in China, a new medical model based on Internet technology and mobile devices has emerged. Mobile health is valued in China because of its ability to provide users with services anytime and anywhere, remotely detect user health information, and provide personalized health solutions. However, the development of mobile health in China is still in its early stages. This chapter analyzes mobile health development in China from multiple perspectives, including China's mobile health regulations, national policies, social applications of mobile health, and user acceptance. This chapter aims to investigate and clarify the problems encountered in the development of mobile health in China. Finally, we discuss the future of mobile health in China and propose solutions through a multi-method analysis.
