mHealth starts to get momentum

I have to apologize for not updating the site regularly. I successfully launched a Medication Clean Up Campaign on May 8, in Pittsburgh with the help of the PA Medical Society, Attorney General, Drug Enforcement Agency, Mayor's office and City of Pittsburgh Police. Expired and unused prescription drugs have become a popular choice for the youth to abuse after tobacco and alcohol. But what does that have to do with m-Health.
As I talked about in December, we are noticing a transition. The consumer will continue to drive the change in health care delivery as they are able to have wearable sensors and home monitors. This shift to the home is the parallel with the increasing abuse of prescription medications.
I am on my way to the Wireless Life Science Alliance meeting and look forward to meeting my fellow m-health enthusiasts and entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, registration closed at 10am on the 12th, i thought I had till the end of the day. Guess we will have to see if I just have to hang out in the lobby of the hotel.
Please leave your comments and suggestions.
