Thus, the feasibility of mobile devices supporting healthcare is greater than ever before. Mobile health ­ the use of mobile communication and devices for providing healthcare  services or achieving health outcomes ­ stands at a significant inflection point. In India we have 900 million mobile phone users. Almost every family has one mobile set and hence tremendous potential to reach out in the remote area. The people are fairly well conversant with the use of mobile phone for call and messaging. The smart phone too is becoming popular. The IT enabled health related Mother and Child tracking system (MCTS) is one such example. The government is keen to expand these initiatives into other areas of health care delivery. With the phenomenal growth of mobile network and mobile users the opportunities for its application in engaging the families in managing Non­ Communicable diseases is immense.
