Abstract: An important social innovation is the intersection between healthcare and mobile technology. Building on prior research, statistical multivariate methods are used to provide cross-country analysis. Our findings suggest that if the European Union's aim of increasing citizens activity in healthcare is to be achieved, then mobile technology needs to become part of a wider pan-European social innovation. Only through developing a health infrastructure supported by these applications will the culture of public health change.
