The World Congress is pleased to announce its 2nd Annual Leadership Summit on mHealth.  The purpose of this conference is to provide the emerging mHealth eco-system (i.e. providers, payers, policy-makers, device manufacturers and telecomm carriers) with insight into the clinical efficiencies and business opportunities for integrating mobile technologies into the care delivery model.

The technology is maturing. The infrastructure is in place. Consumer interest and demand is on the increase and the outcomes-based case for mHealth is growing.  So if widespread adoption is to occur, the current fee-for-service reimbursement system needs adjustment or new payment models must be created that incent providers toward adoption.  For some time now, the industry has identified the business model issue as the sticking point -- Who will pay for mHealth?

	UNDERSTAND the importance of the HITECH stimulus legislation and the implications for wireless health
	ASSESS the future of consumer connected health care, consumer engagement and remote monitoring
	EXAMINE evidence from early studies and data that show the clinical impact of mobile and gaming on health outcomes
	DETERMINE how to successfully apply mobile technology for clinical decision support
	DEVELOP a market segmentation plan and mobile communication strategies targeted toward each generation’s needs for successful adoption
	IDENTIFY profiles of patients that can benefit from mHealth and the translation into cost savings

The Leadership Summit on mHealth is offering a select number of specially-priced spots in our executive networking lounge for burgeoning mHealth companies to join our mHealth Innovation Incubator. We welcome abstract submissions for the mHealth technology you would like to display. The pavilion includes the opportunity to display a poster of your innovation and bring your actual innovation with you. We welcome all submissions that fit within the ever-expanding mHealth field.
