The Vodafone Foundation has a 5-year, $15 million partnership with the UN Foundation to use mobile technologies to help address humanitarian challenges globally. The partnership focuses on three key areas: mHealth for development, which uses mobile devices to deliver healthcare services; thought leadership and innovation research on the role of mobile in development; and a measles vaccination program across 22 African countries through a wireless health data collection tool. The presentation highlights ongoing projects using mHealth to track diseases, improve health systems, and achieve better health outcomes in developing nations.

Keynote presentation for seminar Mobile technology for nutrition (Wageningen, May 2014) scetching the landscape of mobile and ICT applications in nutrition (linking to mhealth trends)
The explosion in the number of applications (apps) designed for the medical and wellness sectors has been noted by many. Recently we have seen increased presence of truly medical apps, in addition to consumer health and wellbeing apps, designed for clinical professionals and patients with medical conditions.
Consumer based mHealth apps typically allow people to do old things in new ways, such as recording health measures digitally rather than on paper. We see this also with medical apps, where increases in the quality and efficiency of existing health care models provide clinical staff with digital tools that replace paper based documentation. In rare and exciting cases we are also seeing mHealth applications that are doing things in entirely new ways to drive real innovation in health care delivery through mobile devices.
The aim of the tutorial is to highlight real world, high impact mobile research that is relevant to the key discipline of Mobile HCI. Thus, the tutorial will be application rather than academically focused. The tutorial will highlight the wide range of mHealth applications available that go far beyond trackers and behavior change tools and encourage researchers to look beyond consumer applications in their research. Four key areas of mHealth applications will be covered including Apps for the HealthyWell, mHealth in Hospitals, Practice and Clinical Apps and Patient Apps and will cover applications for health assessment, treatment and triage, behavior change, chronic illness, mental health, adolescent health, rehabilitation and age care with a focus on the need for rigorous evaluation and efficacy analysis.

Telehealth: Access
Sponsored & Hosted by: Elluminate, Inc. (http://www.elluminate.com/)
This webinar will explore Teleheath, which is a growing industry with a global benefit. Today's medical professionals have the ability support the medical learners in ways that will improve patient care and simplify the administrative work associated with education and competence assessment. Technology has enabled a true revolution within the telehealth industry and the use of it will only get better as it provides access to the home with socially shared communities of practice. Specific areas of interest may focus on the new entrants such as naturopathic medicine, delivery of content via multiple modes, communities of practice, learning standards, international programs, best practices and policies.

The Second HIV Capacity Building Partners’ Summit Birchwood Hotel and Conference Centre, Johannesburg, South Africa | March 19-21, 2013 Turning the Tide on HIV and Health Through Capacity Building Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital Poster Presentation Advocacy for Increased Training to Prevent HIV Infection in Children
The first HIV Capacity Building Partners’ Summit held in March 2011 in Nairobi, and attended by more than 250 delegates from 25 countries, marked the beginning of a new thinking about how partners can work together to ensure that capacity building delivers results. It is against this background that organisations working in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region organised the Second HIV Capacity Building Summit (Capacity Summit 2013) in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The Summit offered an opportunity for capacity building experts, policy-makers and the HIV-affected community to review and refine evidence-based, sustainable capacity building interventions that are country-owned and geared towards attaining the HIV and health targets

Second report in a special series on Scaling Up Mobile Health, commission by Advanced Development for Africa. Focuses on case studies of partnership-driven scale up of mHealth in the field, and provides sets of recommendations for building, implementing, sustaining and scaling mHealth partnerships.
Mounting interest in the field of mHealth—the provision of health-related services via mobile communica-tions—can be traced to the evolution of several interrelated trends. In many parts of the world, epidemicsand a shortage of healthcare workers continue to present grave challenges for governments and healthproviders. Yet in these same places, the explosive growth of mobile communications over the past decadeoffers a new hope for the promotion of quality healthcare. Among those who had previously been left behindby the ‘digital divide,’ billions now have access to reliable technology.There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates the potential of mobile communications to radicallyimprove healthcare services—even in some of the most remote and resource-poor environments. This reportexamines issues at the heart of the rapidly evolving intersection of mobile phones and healthcare. It helps thereader to understand mHealth’s scope and implementation across developing regions, the health needs towhich mHealth can be applied, and the mHealth applications that promise the greatest impact on heath careinitiatives. It also examines building blocks required to make mHealth more widely available through sustain-able implementations. Finally, it calls for concerted action to help realize mHealth’s full potential.
Are you wondering how the digital health scene is responding to the Corona crisis and how innovations can have an impact beyond COVID-19?
What kind of digital health innovations are coming up at the moment and could they be a real game changer? And what about the time after COVID-19? Can we hope for a more connected healthcare in the future?
Our expert Elisa Frenz, Chief Digital Officer at Health Proc Europe, is going to provide you with the answers in an interactive dialogue. In order to connect the dots and accelerate impact, your ideas and opinions on the topic are wanted!

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
