Earlier this year, the Federal Communications Commission convened a summit with industry leaders to discuss opportunities to accelerate the adoption and use of mobile health care technologies. Since then, participants have formed the "mHealth Task Force" to develop recommendations for industry and government to harness the potential of mobile devices to improve health outcomes and lower costs of care. At this event, these participants will discuss the potential of mHealth technology to revolutionize the delivery of patient care as well as the challenges facing mHealth technology adoption.
