mHealth

Connected Health is the generation, aggregation, and dissemination of health information via mobile and wireless devices and the sharing of that information between patients and providers. The mHealth topic area, supported by the HIMSS mHealth Community, provides critical updates on mobile health IT policy, industry thought leadership, such as the mHealth Roadmap, how the Roadmap is being used, and the opportunity to network with stakeholders across the mHealth ecosystem, guided by the mHealth Committee.
