Mobile technology is redefining the health care experience—everywhere.
IntraHealth staff will take part in the mHealth Summit and Global mHealth Forum in Washington, DC, December 7-11. The mHealth Summit is the largest event of its kind, bringing together a wide range of stakeholders—including policymakers, researchers, technologists, public health officials, health workers, and patient advocates—who are interested in the latest innovations, research, and big ideas on wireless technology and health care. The focus of the 6th annual summit is innovation and evidence.
For the first time, the Global mHealth Forum will meet at the mHealth Summit. This two-day event will bring together public and private sector organizations to share the latest evidence, experiences, and lessons learned on mHealth approaches specifically in low- and middle-income countries. The Global mHealth Forum is presented in partnership with the mHealth Working Group and USAID. IntraHealth is a member of the mHealth Working Group Advisory Board and co-organizer and co-leader of the Collaborative Ecosystems track.
