Join Experts for a Sneak Peek of the 2011 mHealth Summit

The mHealth Summit is the world’s largest mobile health event with an expected 3000-3500 attendees from more than 40 countries. This year the Summit will take place from December 5-7 at the National Harbor near Washington, DC.   We invite you to join mobile health experts for a teleconference to discuss the upcoming Summit and answer your questions about the intersection between health and mobile technology.

With healthcare costs skyrocketing in Western countries and families in the poorest countries still lacking proper access to medical services, mobile health (mHealth) has great potential to transform healthcare systems and improve health outcomes.

The Summit convenes leaders from across key sectors of government, industry, academia, providers, technology innovation, not-for-profit organizations, and the private sector. On this call, experts will discuss the Summit’s cross-sectoral analysis of the critical issues surrounding mobile health including Technology, Research, Policy, Business, and mFinance.
