Morning Discussion Groups

The Morning Networking Discussion Groups are informal discussions around a particular mHealth topic or health problem to allow the diverse attendees of the mHealth Summit to network across disciplines. These discussion groups will provide the opportunity for health researchers, healthcare providers, engineers, computer scientists, business people, policymakers, and attendees from other professions and disciplines to meet, learn about their common interests in a particular area of mHealth, and pursue possible collaborations.

These discussions groups are facilitated with suggested questions for discussion such as:

  • What are some exciting recent mHealth developments in this area?
  • What are some of the gaps that need to be addressed?
  • What are the major barriers to further progress in this area and how can they be addressed?
  • What are some advancements you hope to see in the next year?

 

Below are the proposed topic areas for the Morning Networking Discussions each day.
