About the mHealth Summit
The two-day event will explore the role of biomedical research as the driver for the development of compelling applications based on mobile technology. The Summit will bring together 450 to 600 U.S. and international researchers, technology experts, and policymakers in the public sector, as well as those from academia, industry, and NGOs to:
* Assess current policies regarding mobile health technologies and their use in reducing or eliminating domestic and global health disparities
* Build bridges between the scientific community and mobile technology developers to identify mHealth solutions
* Highlight scientific opportunities and challenges in using mobile technologies to improve public health
* Discuss and craft a vision for the development and use of mobile technologies in the future
The agenda will include several case study tracks, as well as panel discussions that address broad themes related to mobile technologies as tools for research and improving health. The mHealth Summit program committee has announced a call for presentations and is seeking case studies that describe current or completed research projects using mobile technologies to improve research data collection, healthcare delivery, health outcomes, and/or health and science education. All NIH Institutes and Centers are strongly urged to encourage researchers from their intramural and extramural communities to submit presentation abstracts.
Current partnering Institutes and Centers include:
* Fogarty International Center (FIC)
* National Cancer Institute (NCI)
* National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NCMHD)
* National Center on Research Resources (NCRR)
* National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
* National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)
* National Library of Medicine (NLM)

The 2010 mHealth Summit aims to provide an international forum to:
* Bring together leaders in research, government, private sector, academia, and not-for-profit organizations to share information and experiences leading to identifying cross-disciplined needs and opportunities for mobile technologies, health and healthcare research, and policy-making
* Foster cross-sector collaborations between research and wireless technology to address pressing and complex health care issues facing particular populations
* Advance biomedical, behavioral and public health research, diagnosis, treatment, and patient care through the utilization of wireless communications, mobile computing, sensing and other wireless technologies
* Discuss critical challenges and opportunities in the domestic and global implementation of mobile technologies for health research and health care delivery
* Consider the practical interest and engagement of policy makers, government agencies, NGO’s and other standard-setting bodies within the context of advancing mHealth research.…
: This is taking it to a whole new level: Up until now [wireless health has] really been about physiologic things like blood pressure, respiratory rate and fluid status. It didnt include the images and the ultrasound, which is our most important and sensitive overall type of imaging.…
