MIQH 2016 - 1st Workshop on M-Health Innovations for Quality in Healthcare (MIQH'16)

Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) offers unique opportunities to reduce cost, increase efficiency and improve the quality and access to care. It enables patients and physicians to have immediate access to medical records and vital signs, while wireless technology allows physicians to serve more patients despite geographical limitations.
In this context, the session will explore the emergence of mHealth in the healthcare setting. It will focus on the broad range of technologies available, tackle the effects of mHealth on the industry and stakeholders, explore the infrastructure and architecture needed to support these technologies, discuss the involvement of various stakeholders and the impact of mHealth on existing technology, and analyse the transformation of the business models. Looking forward, it will demystify the impact of consumer-centric healthcare, and how it might reshape access, quality, and treatment.
