Today there is a system of ‘Sick-Care’ in the developed world where incentives are not aligned to encourage a healthy population but rather a system of ‘No-Care’ where very few have identified the attributes leading to health and wellness. To address this wide gap in health delivery, mHealth technologies will enable improved health globally and at all income levels. mHealth technologies will also include commonalities that will allow global economies of scale to be achieved when reaching both the developed and developing worlds.

Interoperability and security among mHealth technologies is imperative as these are introduced to market. In addition, ensuring consistent practices across implementation, deployment, maintenance, administration, and other aspects of technology deployment is of paramount importance.

Topics include:

• Real Life Commercial mHealth Deployments, Pilots and Lessons Learned
• Implementation Aspects of mHealth
• Infrastructure Management for all Aspects of the Wireless Environment: Pre-, Post- and During Implementation
• System Interoperability and System Infrastructure in the Health Care Environment
• Trusted and Scaled Technology
• Gateway Technologies
• Sensor Technology Advancements: Current and Future Practices
• Innovations for Handling Health Conditions and Chronic Diseases
• Wellness and Lifestyle Uses of mHealth Technology.
• Fitness Centers: Current mHealth Practices
• Applications of mHealth for Handling Communicable Diseases
• Role of Multi-Radio Transmission of Data to Provide a Catalyst for mHealth

Topics in this category will focus on moving the debate forward by addressing the business models that impact mHealth with a focus on lessons learned, best practices, and the emergence of commercially viable models to scale mHealth globally.

Topics include:

• Policies and Regulations: The Impact on the Growth of the mHealth Market
• The Value Add of Wireless Health: Driving Efficiencies and Reducing Healthcare Costs
• Examining the Value Chain in mHealth
• The Current and Future Trends of the Distribution Channel of mHealth
• Determining the Payment Model for mHealth
• Analyzing the Demographics of the mHealth Market
• Deriving Value from Data Collection Efforts
• Emerging Market Business Models

Both the promise of the future while the concerns of the present exist: regulation of non-medical devices such as smartphones, national regulatory agencies broad jurisdiction over all healthcare information technology, and other topics that take center stage to this debate.

Topics include:

• Perspectives on Navigating the Regulatory Process
• The Role of Health Standards in mHealth
• Outlook from Global Government Entities
• Legal Implications of Scaled Wireless Health
• Medical Grade Wireless Testing
