The mobile Health as part of digital Health has become widely known since there is a great change in technology and the way that people manage the science of Informatics and Communication Technologies. A validation study was conducted about the use of health applications on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, laptop) as well as the service and assistance offered in a group of MSc graduates, professionals except physicians in Health care Units in Athens, Greece. The results highlight that most respondents are aware of the existence of health applications on mobile devices while at the same time they are using or they have previously used such applications on their daily living. The majority of respondents believe that health apps have improved or will significantly help their quality of health. They also recommend the mHealth apps to include lab test results from their primary medical records, to include reminder functions for medication and physical activities and ensure safe environment and medical confidentiality.
