First Global Conference on Use of Cell Phones, Smart Phones and Other Wireless Mobile Devices in Healthcare
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.
What is mHealth?
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.
