Healthcare Mobile Technology

I went to a conference recently where one of the sessions discussed Healthcare Mobile Technology.  The panel spoke about their visions and excitement of what Mobile Technology can offer to patients and how their healthcare companies have been involved in this space.  The excitement is that we can involve patients in more around their health management and keep them healthy using a device that is already integrated into their daily life, smart cell phones.  One of these companies is Ubiqi Health which is focusing Mobile Technology for the management of migraines. 

I've personally seen Health Insurers spend Millions on putting tools on the Web for patients.  However, what we have seen is that people are not adopting to the Web and the Return of Investment is not realized.  With that said, I apply this too to Mobile Technology.  I believe that people are not totally adopting to using healthcare applications on the Web and Mobile Phones.  I think we need to spend time to fix adoption before spending too much more money on healthcare tools in these platforms.

A couple of mobile and web 2.0 healthcare sites that I want to point out:

Also, http://health2con.com/ is a great group for following health 2.0.
