Next week at the mHealth Summit in Washington D.C., MobiHealthNews is producing one of the event's concurrent afternoon sessions: mHealth Innovations. Today, we're excited to announce our lineup of speakers and session topics. Be sure to join us in Room 101 of the convention center next week! Here's the agenda:
mHealth's Move to End-to-End Solutions (Monday 2:15PM-3:45PM): While deployments and pilots of mHealth point-solutions are on the rise, the need for end-to-end solutions is now. Are mobile-enabled systems that bridge handsets, electronic health records, decision support, supply chain management, administrative tasks and remote diagnostics, mHealth's next step? This session will include thought leaders working in each of these areas to further the discussion of end-to-end mobile-enabled healthcare system deployments. Where are the challenges? Who is working to make best-in-class mobile health applications interoperable and integrated? Speakers from Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Orange, Sana Mobile, Continua Health Alliance, CTIS and the Regenstrief Institute. (More)
mHealth Devices Extend the HCP's Reach (Tuesday 11:30AM-1:00PM): For the forthcoming chronic disease management epidemic, remote monitoring of patients will extend and enhance the reach of care providers, whose numbers are decreasing at the same time. Other point-of-care medical peripheral devices that attach to smartphones are creating what amounts to "handheld hospitals" to enable remote diagnostics in the field. This panel will examine the key devices that can help patients and healthcare workers better manage chronic diseases as well as the devices that enable remote diagnostics in the field. Wireless peel-and-stick sensors, Bluetooth-enabled stethoscopes, connected glucose meters and more. What are these handheld hospital devices capable of today? What does a deployment of them entail in resource-constrained markets? To what extent do these devices require a health provider to operate them? Speakers from National Institute of Biomedical Imaging & Bioengineering, Microskia, Biorasis, Vitality, and Philometron. (More)
mHealth Apps Enhance Quality of Care (Tuesday 3:00PM-4:30PM): While the overwhelming majority of mobile health-related apps are medical reference offerings, more helpful and disruptive mobile applications that enable public health research, patient information data entry, remote diagnosis and medical education, are beginning to swell into a new class of mHealth apps that help patients self-manage and healthcare workers provide more efficient care. Speakers from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Speech Technology and Applied Research, Verizon Wireless, mDhil, Healthagen, and Remedy Systems. (More)
