The development of the Information & Communication Technologies applied in the healthcare system is hereby presented as a twofold process: the first one is dominated by the e-Health, while the second one by the m-Health. The latter embodies a unique technological revolution capable, as no others, to challenge the medical profession in the domain of knowledge, expertise and practice (for instance, diagnosis), shaping a new citizen driven healthcare model, highly coping with the needing stemming from chronic patients, and redesigning consequently the historical physician-patient relationship.

Keywords: Digital health; medical apps; e-health; m-health; doctor-patient relationship; citizen centrality
