Mobile Health for Reducing Disparities: Does it Work and How Will we Know? Ida Sim
This document discusses the potential for mobile health (mHealth) technologies to help reduce health disparities. It notes that while cell phone ownership is now very high among all groups, questions remain about whether mHealth can effectively promote behavior change and improve health outcomes. The digital divide still exists in how technology is used, as language barriers and health literacy can influence mHealth adoption. More data is needed on sustained mHealth usage and how online health information actually affects users' health decisions and approaches.
This document provides an overview of mobile technology and its applications in healthcare and libraries. It discusses the growing use of mobile phones worldwide and the rise of mHealth applications that support health monitoring, education and communication. It also outlines different mobile platforms like iOS, Android and Blackberry and considerations for developing mobile websites or native apps. QR codes and augmented reality are presented as technologies that can enhance access to information on mobile devices.

Initial results found the iPads were used for files, communication, reading, internet searches and more. The library aims to help support mobile devices and apps in education and patient care.
The 3rd Industrial Revolution: Transforming Healthcare as We Know It?garycmdpr
The document discusses how the third industrial revolution is transforming healthcare through technological advancements like the internet of things, mobile computing, cloud computing, and big data. It outlines how these technologies enable new collaborative workflows for healthcare professionals through real-time access to patient data and mobility. This allows for improved care coordination across settings and remote treatment options. However, security concerns around privacy and data breaches are a major challenge as healthcare moves online. New models are needed to provide transparent, secure access to information anytime, anywhere.
The increased usage of mobile devices and the rise of social networking have made personal technology a more integral part of people's lives than ever before. This study looked to uncover any issues and concerns that people have with the increasing pervasiveness of technology in their lives, particularly around security, privacy, and heath/safety.
Some of the key findings from this study are:
- People still do not trust mobile technology enough to feel comfortable making online purchases/transactions, preferring instead to use their computers
- While people have concerns about their online privacy, it has little impact on their actual mobile technology usage
- Concerns over the usage of mobile technology and personal health have little impact on people's mobile device usage, in fact, many people are skeptical over claims that mobile technology may pose a health risk
Kofi Annan spoke about how information and communication technologies (ICT), if properly harnessed, have the potential to improve all aspects of social, economic, and cultural life. ICT is transforming society in a profound way. The document discusses how ICT is changing various fields like health care, education, and research by providing tools for things like e-learning, telemedicine, and ubiquitous access to information. However, the growth of ICT also presents challenges around issues like privacy, ethics, and not replacing human contact. Overall, ICT is rapidly changing the world by allowing new forms of participation, while its impacts must still be carefully managed.

Mobile computing application risks in ZimbabweIOSR Journals
Abstract: Mobile technology has now become the order of the day. Everyone seems to own one or more mobile
devices. Everyone is so excited because this has made life easier for a lot of people. Though mobile technology
has brought many benefits to people’s lives, its application has some risks that come with it. This paper
therefore looked at mobile computing application areas in Zimbabwe, the risks brought about by mobile
computing application in Zimbabwe and how mobile computing application risks are mitigated in a developing
country like Zimbabwe where the technology level seems to be behind. The study findings showed that mobile
application areas in Zimbabwe include paying bills, social networking and playing games. Most Zimbabweans
revealed that they do not know how to mitigate mobile computing application risks. The study finally
recommended that mobile computing application risks should be taught in schools as well as in televisions and
radios so that everyone is aware of them.

Presentation on text messaging use in healthcare in developing countries, by Karen Coppock at mHealth Initiative Seminar in San Francisco, September 18, 2009
This document discusses the concept of participatory health and the role of mobile technologies, known as mHealth. It argues that mHealth will transform healthcare by enabling active participation of patients, providers, and other stakeholders through technologies like mobile phones. This will allow things like continuous communication between visits, accessing health information and decision support at the point of care, remote monitoring for disease management, and financial applications like real-time billing. However, challenges like interoperability and standards must be addressed. The document advocates for providers to prepare for this change by developing mHealth strategies and balancing new technologies with workflow impacts. Overall, mHealth is presented as a way to improve outcomes while reducing costs through more participatory and connected care.
The document summarizes 12 clusters of mobile health (mHealth) applications for healthcare. It describes each cluster including patient communication applications, access to web-based resources, point-of-care documentation, disease management, education programs, professional communication, administrative applications, financial applications, emergency care, public health applications, pharmaceutical/clinical trials applications, and body-area networks. For each cluster, it provides examples of current applications and considerations for developing standards and evaluating the applications. The document was presented at an mHealth seminar by the CEO of the mHealth Initiative.

The document discusses diabetes management and emerging wireless solutions. It describes how WellDoc uses wireless technologies and a virtual coach to help diabetes patients better manage their condition through medication reminders, blood glucose tracking, and behavioral modification tools. A case study shows how WellDoc helped a patient lower their A1c level and improve self-management over 3 months by analyzing their data, providing education, and facilitating collaboration between the patient and healthcare provider. The conclusion emphasizes how WellDoc aims to engage and empower patients while also supporting clinicians.
1) The document introduces the MyRapidMD ESP solution, which stores a user's Emergency Service Profile (medical information and emergency contacts) on their mobile device.
2) The ESP allows first responders to access critical information about a victim to identify them, view medical conditions, medications, and contacts.
3) The profile is a simple static display of key fields including name, photo, medical history, insurance, and can be accessed even if the phone is locked or offline through a 24/7 call center.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. To Communicate
Effectively In Today’s
World We Need To
Deprogram Ourselves, And
Look For New Ways to
Connect To Our Patients
and Families
3. Why?
Your patients and families are mobile
(2008)
Worldwide
1.1 billion use the internet
1.4 billion carry credit cards
1.5 billion have TVs
4 billion cell phone subscribers
62% of all Americans participates in digital activities
away from work, home, or school.
84% penetration of cell phones in the US population
In June 2006 (1 month) 75 million text messages
were sent; in June 2008 7.2 billion text messages
were sent.
RC Lefebvre, GWU

4. Why?
“American families in 2008 continue to
function as units. Although they often go
their separate ways during the day, they
are connected by the internet, and even
more so, by cell phones. They
communicate socially and coordinate
activities. Few household members feel
the internet separates them.”
Pew Internet & American Life Project, 2008
5. Who Uses Mobile Technology The
Most?
73% Hispanic (84% of English speaking
Hispanics have cell phones and on a
typical day, more than half do something
the might involve sending or receiving
data)
68% Black
53% White
6. Who Uses Technology The Most?
95% of married couples living with children
89% own multiple cell phones (1/2 with 3 or more and
57% of children 7 – 17 have their own cell phone)
58% own 2 or more desktop or laptop computers.
Both spouses use the internet as do 84% of their
children age 7 – 17.
Single parents of children under the age of 18
multi-adult families not living as married who are
with or without children under the age of 18
42% of parents contact their child/children daily
using a cell phone
7. “Despite all of this technology, the majority
of adults say technology allows their family
to be as close or closer than their families
were when they grew up!”
Pew Internet & American Life Project, 2008
8. Why?
Despite fears that many Americans are isolated from
family members because of immersive personal internet
and cell phone use, most families are together at night.
Their heavy home internet use suggests that many
households are hubs of personal communication
networks, as they log on to e-mail, IM, post on social
networking sites, chat, and text.
Families of today are neither isolated individuals or your
traditional family. Rather their households are active
sites of individual activity and family togetherness.
Pew Internet & American Life Project, 2008
9. Why?
Nurses use mobile technology
67% of nurses carry two or more mobile
communication devices Spyglass Consulting, 2008
88% of nurses had three phone numbers Ascendant Systems, 2008
Nurses are mobile*
Walk an average of 3 miles (up to 5) per shift
regardless of racetrack, corridor, or radial design facility
Spend 31% of shift in the patient room
Spend 38% of shift at the nurses station
Spend 24% on the unit and 7% off the unit
