University Calendar

Join us as we explore how apps for smartphones and tablets are empowering patients and care teams to communicate and share information more effectively. This is part of the ‘mHealth,’ a sub-segment of eHealth which is the burgeoning use of electronic records, computers and IT in the delivery of health care. Why should you care about mHealth? Besides the impact it will have (or already has had!) on you and your family, mHealth is poised to play a big role in the $100B+ Health IT marketplace. What opportunities exist for entrepreneurs to enter this marketplace?

The event will include presentations by three experts, including Dr. Peter S. Tippett, a nationally recognized expert on mHealth and one of the top thought leaders in this area. The experts will discuss mHealth from the cutting-edge perspective of balancing security with the seamless use of the technology across different networks.

Peter S. Tippett, MD, PhD, former Chief Medical Officer for Verizon and renowned Health IT innovator will keynote this event and discuss the unique advantages and challenges of using mobile apps in care coordination and patient centered care.
