A study about old-aged tourism within health tourism and applicability and importance of mobile health services

This study was generated in order to spot the importance of old age tourism within growing health tourism market and discuss how mobile health services can be used on old age tourism. The aged population in the world is increasing rapidly. Aging of the population and the increase in life expectancy at birth has led to high number of patients with service demands that are above hospitals' capacities. Thus, reasons such as the high cost of treatment and long waiting queues for treatment has created and accelerated the growth of the sector. Developments in science and technology have also led to changes in the current health care system. In this context, the growing mobile health services can be seen as an alternative and a complementary service to decrease increasing health spending
