• Benefits to increased business and information access,
innovative thinkers are seizing the opportunity to
harness the power of mobile technologies for the
benefit of public health.
• Mobile technologies have already changed, and will
continue to change, the lives of millions around the
world
• Data security is a particularly important issue to
address within the area of policy. There are legitimate
concerns about the security of citizen information by
programmes using mobile health technologies.
• Mobile Phones for Health Communication to Promote
Behavior Change (Weight loss, Firstaid, sleep cycle
etc)
