The development of an m-Health application could become a complementary monitoring tool during palliative care. However, it seems important to question the impact of technique in the professional-patient relationship and avoid the pitfalls of standardizing palliative care and reducing the patient to a "sick" health technician. A future step would then be to define which health-care professional would be in charge of this "m-monitoring."
