Mobile Monday Health Forum at College of Physicians

The second annual Mobile Health Forum event will take place Monday night at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Part of the Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic series, the event will explore challenges faced by health-care providers and patients, and the role of mobile technologies in addressing them.

Founded in 2007, Mobile Monday Mid-Atlantic is the local chapter of a nonprofit global community of wireless industry professionals.

“Mobile technology is helping to address the health-care needs of a changing population and is an essential enabler of remote preventative care,” said Robert Jarrin, senior director of government affairs for Qualcomm Inc. and a Mobile Health Forum keynote speaker.

The event, which will be held from 5 to 8:30 p.m., will feature two panels comprised of clinicians, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, privacy and security experts, and technologists. Discussions will explore the needs and mind sets of health-care professionals and the people they serve, recent technological advances and deployments, business realities and opportunities, and best practices for members of both the medical and business communities.
