Are you familiar with the mHealth Expert Learning Program (mHELP)?
New mHealth Alliance Initiative to Strengthen Mobile Health Capacity of Governments, Private Sector, NGOs
mHealth Expert Learning Program (mHELP) designed to address pressing need for capacity building to help improve health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries
Dublin and Washington, D.C. (September 12, 2013) – The mHealth Alliance today launched a new initiative aimed at building the expertise and capacity of global health stakeholders using mobile technology for health by connecting them directly to free consultations and tools, as well as a network of highly qualified experts in the field. The mHealth Expert Learning Program (mHELP), supported by Johnson + Johnson, seeks to address a persistent gap in the capacity of health programs and service implementers to design and deploy mobile health (mHealth) in low-resource settings. The launch of mHELP at the mHealthED conference in Dublin coincides with the first official call for applications from mHealth and electronic health (eHealth) professionals who wish to join the mHELP expert network.

Healthcare in Afghanistan Goes Mobile
In recent decades, Afghanistan has experienced more than its fair share of adversity. A combination of wars and religious strife have conspired to create real hardship, not to mention imminent physical danger, for Afghanistan's people.
The impact of Afghanistan's economy has been profound – since the 1980s, Afghanistan's GDP has actually declined. However, in recent years, some rays of hope have started to shine, with GDP growing at a healthy 11% in 2012. A lot of that is due to the money that has poured in since the 2002 invasion, but there are signs of natural growth in the economy as well.

One area that has continued to suffer, however, is healthcare. There has been some progress, but healthcare continues to be both inaccessible and unaffordable for many Afghans, who subsist off an average income of less than $1000 a year. The problem is made worse by a large rural population situated a long way away for the limited health care facilities that do exist. In a country that still is rife with polio, tuberculosis and malaria, that's not a good thing.
There does seem, however, to be an increasing trend to try to bridge the gap with mobile health care – including telemedicine. As recently as July, 2013, Médecins Sans Frontières announced that they were launching their first mobile clinic in Afghanistan. Roshan, one of Afghanistan's mobile telephone providers, has also been active since 2007, developing telemedicine solutions to plug gaps in the healthcare system, as well as deploying e-learning solutions.
In fact, using mobile technology to bridge the healthcare gap may be the way to go. Since 2002, Afghanistan has been increasingly well served by mobile phone companies, starting with Ehsan Bayat's Afghan Wireless in 2002, and then followed by several others. Despite its relative poverty, there are over 18 million mobile telephone subscribers in Afghanistan – with 85% of the population being in coverage areas. There are further plans to construct over 400 more towers to bring coverage to the remaining 15%. 3G data services have also been introduced to the market recently.
That may be good news for more than just healthcare. Here's why.

There is a significant positive correlation between mobile subscribers and economic growth in emerging economies. According to a Deloitte study commissioned by the GSM Association, a 10% increase in mobile penetration (the percentage of people in a country that have a mobile phone) increases productivity by 4.3% in the long run. Mobile data drives further improvement – if 10% of mobile subscribers in a country migrate from voice to data service, GDP growth increases by 0.15% per year. This is especially important in developing markets, as fixed line services are often not available.
While healthcare in Afghanistan clearly has a long way to go, mobile technology may be able to deliver a one-two punch. First, it has the potential to bring healthcare to where it's needed most. Second, it could spur on the economic activity needed to support core improvements in the healthcare system, as well as other social services.

Heritage Open mHealth Challenge
Heritage Provider Network (HPN), in collaboration with the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Open mHealth, are pleased to launch an open challenge that will seek submissions demonstrating innovative uses of the Open mHealth architecture, and the power of integrating mobile applications and data for more effective management of clinical conditions.
While thousands of mobile and web applications have been developed for different health conditions, a fundamental issue is that these applications are developed independently and are not easily integrated into a coherent user experience or clinical tool. Someone who may need to manage several conditions -- such as congestive heart failure, COPD and diabetes – could use several applications to help them manage each condition, but would find it difficult to co-ordinate their use and gain the deeper level of insights that would come from integrating the data collected. The goal of the Open mHealth architecture is to allow patients and clinicians to combine existing and emerging applications and devices to create integrated, personalized health solutions that enable improved disease management and better health outcomes.
Open mHealth is a non-profit organization that is a project of the Tides Center and a recipient of lead funding from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Pioneer Portfolio. Open mHealth also receives in-kind development support from the Center for Embedded Network Sensing, Cornell NYC Tech, and a growing developer community.

Discussing mobility at the HP Healthcare Tweetup at #HIMSS13
I want to thank everyone who participated in our HP Healthcare mobility tweetup today here at HIMSS. We had a great discussion and heard how different organizations are using mobile devices in the clinical setting to improve patient care.Also, we had the special privilege to hear from several people from Pediatric Associates, greater Seattle, WA. They were the recipients of the Greenway Innovation Awards at the Annual PrimeLEADER User Conference. With over 80 providers at seven locations, Pediatric Associates leverages the Greenway platform to eliminate multi-location challenges, improve billing performance and support patient empowerment and engagement.
With the availability of Windows 8 devices in the health care setting, we will be seeing a rise in the use of mobile devices among physicians and nurses. Windows 8 slate tablets are allowing clinicians to run fully functional enterprise-level applications on a light, thin, touch-based tablet and they can dock these devices and maintain a full level of productivity by using a large monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
Have you given Windows 8 for a spin? Here at HIMSS, you can hold and test a wide variety of Windows 8 mobile devices ranging from slate tablets, convertible tablet PCs, and laptops.
HIMSS13 coverage is sponsored by HP. HP’s extensive portfolio of products, solutions, services and relationships can help your healthcare organization achieve quality business practices and provide quality patient care.

Netbooks to deliver health education in Ghana #mHS12
Mark spoke about the use of mobile tools for improved collaborative care. Mobile collaboration in health care is beyond the phone and involves education, telemedicine, virtual care, and remote patient monitoring. Health data should flow in a way to improve care coordination across the continuum of health care. In emerging markets, there are opportunities for virtual care systems that can be scaled to deliver care for populations of patients. Ebenezer spoke about how Ghana is using Intel Skool to deliver health education on mobile platforms. Ghana has delivered 10,000 netbooks for this eLearning initiative. The Ghana Health Service is involved in public/private partnerships to build the capacity to develop education, train clinicians, and manage the health education initiative. There are growing opportunities to get involved in global health initiatives.

Beyond tablets and BYOD #mHS12
Healthcare IT News has a story titled, "Nurses using smartphones to fill IT gaps." They refer to the Spyglass' "Point of Care Computing for Nursing" report, which indicates that 69 percent of hospitals say that their nurses use their personal mobile devices. Ninety-six percent of hospitals believe that first-generation tablets like the iPad aren't a good fit for bedside nursing. Nurses in particular are looking for devices that are durable and that will go through an easy sanitation process. Also, the quality and reliability of the wireless networks within health care systems still remain problematic.
Here are some recent tweets from the mHealth Summit on mobile computing:

Windows 8 launched less than 2 months ago. We're seeing new Windows 8 tablets like the Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 (slate) or laptop/tablet hybrid combination machines like the HP Envy x2. The Sony Vaio Duo 11 is a slider laptop/tablet where the keyboard "slides" out from beneath the screen. Reminds me of some of my older HTC smartphones. What kind of impact will Windows 8 computers have in healthcare? This new generation of tablets have longer battery life and improved performance over any tablets running Windows 7. Therefore, I suspect we will see rapid adoption of these battery-efficient, powerful tablets that can run full-featured enterprise electronic health record (EHR) and computerized physician order entry (CPOE) systems. The PC that you're using at your workstation will be the same mobile device that you'll carry with you to the bedside.
At the mHealth Summit, Michael Breslow from Philips Healthcare also spoke about the growing trends in telemedicine and the use of computers to improve disease prevention and health maintenance.

Using mHealth to Work Smarter
You can download this free whitepaper from Intel titled, "Using mHealth to Work Smarter"
A widely used term in the rapidly changing world of mobile technologies for healthcare is mHealth. Initial use of the term often focused on the use of mobile phones and handheld devices to deliver health information and services to consumers in mature nations and to rural citizens in developing nations. In order to address critical global challenges, mHealth should instead be viewed as an umbrella term that covers a wide range of mobile solutions which can help enable governments and health organizations to deliver higher-quality, more efficient healthcare.
