6 Billion Cell Phones. 7 Billion People.

Your Well-Being is in the Palm of Your Hand

Almost everyone on earth has a cell phone. Literally.

Six billion phone users; seven billion people. And, we all need health care throughout our lives.

This week the healthcare and mobile phone industries meet in Washington, D.C., at the fourth annual mHealth Summit. More than 5,000 from 50 countries are expected to attend: Verizon, AARP, Pfizer, Oracle, StartuUpHealth, HP Cigna, Qualcomlife, mHIMSS, Beclose, and many more.  Each jostling to take over a significant tranche of this sky-rocketing industry.

That’s why I’m here. To get a feel for the landscape and identify the companies and people who will really lead this industry and make mobile technology a vital tool to enhance patient/health provider engagement. Technology can divide us; it can also bring us together.
