While at the mHealth Summit 2012 in DC, I captured a couple videos to try and get an idea of the various mHealth trends that we’ve been seeing in 2012 and what we can expect from mobile health in 2013. Each video is quite short, but full of interesting thoughts on the mHealth industry.
The first two videos are with David Collins from mHIMSS. David has a unique insight since HIMSS has made a big entry into the mHealth space with their acquisition of the mHealth Summit.
In the first video, David Collins talks about the various mobile health trends he’s seen at the mHealth Summit.
In this second video, David Collins discusses some of the key findings from the recently published HIMSS Analytics mHealth survey results.
I also thought it was interesting to hear from Jonathon Dreyer from Nuance Communications to learn what trends he was seeing. Jonathon and Nuance have an interesting perspective since so many mHealth applications could benefit from voice integration. So, they have a unique view at what mHealth applications exist.
Plus, I have to throw in this video that Jonathon made that demonstrates the Nuance voice integration with mobile devices. Nuance actually created this “dummy” EMR system to demonstrate the capabilities of their mobile voice recognition API. I think this was a really smart move since the demo really does illustrate some of the voice capabilities that could be built into EMR software and all sorts of mobile health applications. The video isn’t the perfect demo of the product, but it definitely does give a great window on what could be done with voice recognition when integrated properly.
