Topic One: Where areas hold the biggest opportunities for #mHealth apps? Consumer health? Apps for providers? Apps for insurers?
T1: Opportunities are everywhere. Apps for providers is def one area that I have seen few useful apps. At least very little buzz #HITsm

T1: Must see #mHealth & #EHR not as containers of data but instead as windows into same #digitalfabric of info #hitsm

biggest opp of #apps is communication.Underlying concept of healthcare is the ability to talk. Talk better = #better healthcare #HITsm

Topic Two: How can we deliver #mHealth apps with the quality healthcare consumers expect? Is it best to focus on non-regulated areas?
T2. It really depends on the company. If you have limited resources and experience, then go with what you can test and deliver. #hitsm

T1. Ability to dump consumer #mHealth data to provider’s records an opp for #mHealth too. But drawback:? Payers have more info. #HITsm
— Elin Silveous (@ElinSilveous) January 18, 2013
T2: Apps should provide frequent ongoing value to the user. People don’t get or keep apps that, won’t be use more than a few times. #HITsm
— Karen MacDonald (@KCMacRN) January 18, 2013
T2: We need to encourage outside of our normal circles to engage by using apps & web. Show them! Have a convo. #HITsm

Topic Three: When do you see #mHealth really hitting the mainstream? What needs to happen/change first?
T3: public has embraced apps, need providers talking about apps as part of care discussions to get interest in using them for health #HITsm
— Karen MacDonald (@KCMacRN) January 18, 2013
T3: Read in the stream about low affordability. The cool thing about #mHealth is that it is affordable to most. Smart phones=norm #HITsm
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) January 18, 2013
T3: #mHealth will become mainstream when peer-to-peer #healthcare is ratified by the provider community bit.ly/XepsN7. #HITsm

T3: When more providers need to meaningfully engage patients to improve their care, meet ACO quality measures for reimbursement #HITsm
— Chad Johnson (@OchoTex) January 18, 2013
Topic Four: Other than #eHealth accelerators, how can we bolster innovation in the #mHealth space?
T4: On a simple & practical level, offer to share info on ehealth/mhealth at local schools. Need to spark interest of young minds #HITsm
— Steve Sisko (@ShimCode) January 18, 2013
T4: Promote & sponsor “AppDev” competitions at high school/college level. Tap knowledge, sophistication & tech comfort of young. #HITsm
— Steve Sisko (@ShimCode) January 18, 2013
T4. Reducing risks/costs while increasing rewards. Accelerators, incentives, open frameworks, connecting innovators, sharing rsrcs. #hitsm
— Leonard Kish (@leonardkish) January 18, 2013
T4. We need a multidisciplinary approach to #mHealth innovation. AKS the team that VCs & angels invest in. #HITsm
