Adesina,

Thank you for letting us know about your upcoming participation in the "mobile healthcare Industry Summit". I have reviewed the agenda, and it is clearly another watershed meeting in the gathering momentum propelling mHealth. I would be interested sharing your thoughts on mHealth and emerging markets with the MedTech-IQ community. Is there a way we can do this? Thank you in advance.
