A highlights report on Day 2 of the recent Mobile Health Expo (MHX) 2011 in NYC. Some points:
- mHealth as the convergence of social media (SM) and healthcare (HC) or wellness care (WC)
- 7,000–or 2%–of Apple AppStore apps are clinically related
- Need safeguards for such mHealth apps as diabetic insulin dose calculators; doctors very wary due to risk and liability, not to mention significant implications for HIPAA privacy and security
- social support a key motivator
