By 2015 it is estimated that more U.S. Internet users will access the Internet through mobile devices than through PCs or other wireline devices. While many organizations realize they must embrace the mobile channel, becoming mobile-enabled has historically been complex and cost-prohibitive. Healthcare organizations face even more scrutiny by the FDA and must adhere to HIPPA compliance standards set forth by the Department of Health and Human Services. As daunting as it may sound, the path to mobility for healthcare is already within reach.
During this webinar, April Sage of Online Tech and Rich Mendis of AnyPresence reviewed the common challenges associated with mobile enablement, and introduced the new technologies that are empowering healthcare providers to securely engage their patients and practitioners through the mobile channel.
Topics covered included:
- Current trends in mobile apps, mobile web, and smartphone adoption
- Mobile enablement challenges like platform fragmentation and development issues
- Challenges for mHealth (mobile security risks, HIPPA compliance, FDA regulation)
- New Technologies that are making mHealth possible
