mHealth and Where It’s Heading with Alan Portela

I was excited to sit down with Alan Portela, CEO of AirStrip, in our latest installment of Google Plus Hangouts with top healthcare IT leaders. Along with telling a little bit about the AirStrip story, we talk a lot about what differentiates AirStrip as a mobile health company over the tens of thousands of mobile health applications out there. We also dive into the current EHR market and where it’s headed. Plus, we talk about FDA regulation and its impact on mobile health and what its impact on mobile health and EHR will be in the future.
