Topic: “MOBILE TECHNOLOGY & MOBILE HEALTH: DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY MEETS GLOBAL DEMAND”
SPEAKER: Mr. GORA DATTA, FHL7
Digital Health International Standards Subject Matter Expert
Abstract
With the phenomenal rise of mobile devices & smart phones globally in the past few years, we have now entered the digital age – the agricultural age, the scientific age, the industrial age, the information age and now the mobile age! Move over chalk & slate, paper & pencil, keyboards & laptops, here comes “swish, swipe & tap” on a mobile device. “Beam me up Scotty!”
This global transformation is bringing a change that is impacting our world in every way - how we interact, play, read, write, watch, study, research, work or even relax. Traditional methods of doing research, developing solutions and subsequent adoption and utilization by end-users in this information & digital age at a break-neck speed is also seeing a change that is rapidly adapting/adopting to this wave. Regulators are scrambling to stay ahead of the curve by defining policies and regulations that will help leverage its benefits but at the same time, hopefully, not throttle or chock innovation. Mobile Health is in the midst of this explosion!
In this talk, I will walk through Mobile Health case studies and implementation experiences from around the globe. The talk with touch upon a wide-ranging topics and applications of Blockchain; AI/ML/ES/AS and the emerging field of Data Science; VR/AR/MR/XR realities to avatars, Drones & Robots to 3D-printing to micro-controller boards & single board computers; innovations in medical devices & mobile health apps; big data, cloud computing, edge/fog computing to IoT…..smart pandemic management to air quality management…..a global perspective of advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.
The examples will demonstrate how health problems of today’s information society and the needs of data and knowledge intense heterogeneous but STANDARDS based healthcare solutions are being met by bleeding-edge mobile solutions that were in the cradle of research till recently. Will introduce the emerging Healthcare Digital Health standard (HL7 FHIR) that is spreading like “fire” all across the globe!
Think ATM for money, think WIFI for your laptops and smart phones working anywhere, think local cell phones working in a foreign land…STANDARDS are foundational to the global successes these industries have seen and this is the direction that health (IT) industry is taking.
In summary, as we transition to a digital record framework (access, capture, and dissemination of information) use of mobile health will continue to rise. As mobile devices become more and more ubiquitous, accessing our Health Information is only a few tap/swipes away!
