While thinking about potential new user groups for mobile devices one can notice that the world largest clusters with low penetration of devices are people from developing countries. In the developed countries the largest groups are children and older generation people. Driven by different factors the healthcare and medical applications might create real breakthrough in demand for the new mobile devices and services, and actively involve the above mentioned user groups. The paper describes ideas of the new applications, services and mobile device extension modules which provide the user with medical support and consultancy everywhere at anytime. The paper cannot be seen as a real scientific study, instead it is the first exploration of this field, which in particular is focused on proposing and arguing healthcare and medical solutions for mobile devices targeted to fulfill needs of the above mentioned user groups.
