Have you wondered about where to go to get information on the exploding field of mHealth? Or just an overview so you can feel somewhat knowledgeable about what is going on? There may be several places to look, but one that stands out is the newly upgraded mHealth Toolkit at  http://www.k4health.org/toolkits/mhealth-toolkit. The upgrade includes:

Scalability. Sustainable business models.  Working with network operators. These are the challenges that we end up talking about at mHealth gatherings, frequently without a lot of answers.

But I am happy to report from this year’s GSMA mHealth Alliance Mobile Health Summit that there is a lot of promise, progress, and action. I had the opportunity to speak on Thursday, May 31, as part of panel looking at how mHealth interventions are contributing to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, which was well received. I’ve enjoyed catching up with friends in this dynamic sector, and to see more and more collaboration and convergence around common goals.
