Economist article on mHealth - it's getting real
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 at 7:29PM I had missed this when it came out in November last year. Mentions some of the companies I'm now familiar with - Dalberg Advisors, Weltel (not named, but it was their SMS HIV study that was the first data point) and Welldoc. I've been working in the mobile space for almost ten years, yet I've never heard the pun "M-powered" until now. Thanks to the folks at St. James.
Quoting Bill Gates, they agree that the next wave of innovation is going to come not from the west, but from developing countries.
Wireless health care: M-powered | The Economist:
No doubt a dose of scepticism is warranted about m-health. But given the growing evidence of its usefulness and the new business models from emerging markets, there is reason for hope too. As Mr Gates pointed out this week, ?Middle-income countries are where most innovation in health care is going to come from.?
