An interdisciplinary workshop to discuss the state of the art of research in the field of mobile technologies and health.

This workshop is an opportunity for researchers interested in the field of mobile communication & health to exchange findings and ideas with other scholars. Its aim is to begin drawing a general picture of available information and an overview of research being conducted in various countries. At the same time, the workshop discussions will also seek to identify issues that are ripe for further exploration or that seem to act as barriers to further positive development of mobile communication technology for health advancement and emergency medical services.

Researchers, scholars, students, private and public sector managers and policy-makers interested in the area are encouraged to attend.
