- Healthcare mobile applications are becoming more popular as organizations adopt mobile devices to increase workflow. Entities need to consider healthcare mobile application management (MAM) to help secure and monitor their applications on all devices no matter who owns them.

MAM is less cumbersome than enterprise mobility management (EMM) when it comes to what’s on the actual device. MAM also lets organizations exert control over the application and the data it accesses. This is done without intruding on the user’s personal information if she chooses to utilize her own personal device.

Healthcare is one vertical where MAM solutions are growing the most, according to Gartner’s recent MAM Market Guide report.
