Dishing it out on mHealth hype

Monday, 30 August 2010 22:08

In his latest blog post Eric Dishman reveals more of the man behind the Intel healthcare empire (or mini-empire, depending on your perspective). He's commenting on the bandwagon that is 'mHealth',with its rag-bag of definitions and puts in a plea for some 'old school' rigor when it comes to evidence of effectiveness. "...not every mHealth application or service requires a randomized, clinical trial to prove its worth, but some kind of evidence is warranted.". The Hype and Hope of "mHealth".

[Ed. Donna for Steve:  Do read David Doherty's comment which links to his lengthy blog post--your holiday reading--for a contrarian view on Mr. Dishman and Intel.]
