It's time to begin the #mHIMSS TweetChat! Today we'll be discussing trends in #mHealth that emerged at #HIMSS13 #mHIMSSJonathan Levoy
Question 1: What major policies were discussed during HIMSS13 in the mhealth space?
Great presentation on #BYOD by @KenOnHIT...inclusion of 3 case studies...drove the challenges and lessons learned home! #mHIMSSDavid Collins
@collinsdavid David, is this presentation available on mHIMSS website? @kenonhit #MhimssLuis Saldana
@lsaldanamd Static deck http://t.co/kCbJPD2DWe" class="">himssconference.org/handouts - recorded session available for purchase...Or fly Ken out for real time! #mHIMSSDavid Collins
I'm not sure on actual policies but keynote from Eric Topol was all about patient engagement. Fascinating! #mhimss #mHIMSSCurt Schatz
Windows 8 will appeal to docs and CIOs since they can run enterprise apps #BYOD #mHealth #mHIMSSJoseph Kim, MD
@DrJosephKim - True about Windows 8, but I don't think this will lessen the demand for #BYOD. Users like iOS and Android. #mHIMSSKen Congdon
Great video from @DrJosephKim on #BYOD & MDM and the promise of Windows 8. http://t.co/QUuTiDwLaQ" class="">ow.ly/jg95Y #HIMSS13 #mHIMSSMichael A. Gaspar
Question 2: What MDM/BYOD strategy did you see?
BYOD meet Consumer meet CCD .. you are now free to roam the planet #mhimssDan Erler
#BYOD can be a great way to facilitate mobility - everyone loves their own device #mHIMSS #mhimssMark Combs
User driven demand in its purest form RT @markdcombs: #BYOD is a great way to facilitate mobility - everyone loves their device #mHIMSSFHCInnovation
What about support/troubleshooting... I dont think we have fully explored those ramifications yet. #mhimssLesley Janisse
@bbgirlcanada - support can take many forms - org has to work with IT to determine right model / policies; IT is a strategic partner #mhimssMark Combs
Amen! That should be on a #BYOD banner somewhere. RT @markdcombs: @KenOnHIT No Data on Device - Then No Worries !! #mHIMSSKen Congdon
Devices with data is inevitable. Encrypt everything, THEN no worries. #mHIMSSCurt Schatz
Also true. However, encryption can't hinder usability. RT @Curt_Schatz: Devices w/ data inevitable. Encrypt, THEN no worries. #mHIMSSKen Congdon
So no data on device, and encryption smart approach. Thx. #MhimssLuis Saldana
Question 3: What types of interoperable mobile solutions did you see at HIMSS13?
A3: Not to be too shameless, but can now integrate @TigerTextApp w TigerConnect API, extend interoperability w secure messaging #mhimssTigerText
A3:1200+ vendors on floor Approx 152 self-proclaimed mobile- anyone surprised at ratio? mHealth Summit better opp? More at HIMSS14? #mHIMSSDavid Collins
@JLevoy_Alego We are trying to put together an iPod w/ an IP Phone for Nursing w/ reference apps and EMR access #mhimssMark Combs
Question 4: What types or styles of mobile apps were interesting?
@JLevoy - after Topol's keynote, i became very interested in personal monitoring apps, especially personal sleep study and fitness #mhimssAnthony Stever
The devices for physicians offices like ophthalmoscope attachment #mhimssLesley Janisse
over 40,000 mobile healthcare apps and counting... LOL #mhimssDan Erler
Yes. HIMSS seems dominated by EHR/clinical system vendors. RT @collinsdavid: 1200+ vendors/approx 152 mobile- surprised at ratio? #mHIMSSKen Congdon
Mobile device management will be a focus for me in the coming year. #mHIMSS #mhimssrymat
Physician champions and next gen docs will push for use. Med students using reference apps and will adopt mobile strategies #mhimssDebbie Gregory
@KenOnHIT Great point: "In fact, according to a 2012 HIMSS Health IT survey, 80% of physicians own tablet devices" #mhimssVocera, Inc.
Interested to see how Apple and Samsung smartwatches will be integrated as well #mhimssTigerText
Thanks for a great #mHIMSS chat! We look forward to more. #mhimssVocera, Inc.
