First Global Conference on Use of Cell Phones, Smart Phones and Other Wireless Mobile Devices in Healthcare
What is mHealth?
Mobile phones are being transformed from forbidden gadgets to essential tools for healthcare, and healthcare enterprises must develop a clear strategy for wireless information exchange. Thousands of new applications have been created for healthcare use, and more are being added every day
mHealth, enabled by mobile phones and other wireless computing devices (mDevices), is the revolutionary adoption of new communication patterns in healthcare that is stimulating the introduction of Participatory Health. Enabled by mHealth, Participatory Health is transforming healthcare from a physician- and hospital-centric system to one that seeks to connect and coordinate the roles of all health participants, including patients, the wide range of healthcare providers, payers, pharma, wellness providers, and more.
Who should attend?
The conference will be a resource for clinicians, C-level executives, HIT professionals, health information management professionals, biomedical engineers, health information systems professionals, mobile health and telecommunication professionals, payers, government agencies, developers, vendors, and other healthcare stakeholders to learn strategies for new communication patterns and for improving healthcare through these new technologies. The objective of the conference is to provide a comprehensive overview of the twelve mHealth healthcare application clusters that mHealth Initiative has identified.
mDevices offer new possibilities for every healthcare participant. As other industries have already taken advantage of their increasing capabilities, healthcare is faced with a wide range of options. Mobile phone-based applications can save healthcare costs, increase the quality of care, and have many other advantages. But they also can be disruptive. This event is a place to · See what can be done with mobile phones · Learn how to maximize benefits and minimize risks · Hear about successes and failures · Find out who does what · Analyze strategies · Network with users, developers, and vendors
