For our last event of the 2009-10 season, we were hosting a Talk + Q&A Session on mHealth on Monday 14 June at the BlackBox Cafe, to leverage the presence of members of the Continua Health Alliance attending the European Connected Health Conference Week (14-18 June) in Belfast! A packed house interested in this $1.5bn. global market (expected to triple by 2014) heard our Keynote speaker David Doherty, Business Development Director with 3G Doctor, the world's first service to enable the public to consult with GPs anytime and from anywhere using a 3G video mobile phone, talk about developments and opportunities in this market. The ensuing discussion involved members of Continua who also gave great insights into what Irish companies are doing on a software and appliation basis, esp. technology companies Biancamed, McElwaine Smart, Medhand International, S3 Group, Synapse Teleneurology and Voxpro.
