One good sign that a market is generating hype is the number of conferences that are being created to serve it. In difficult times conferences are one of the first bits of spending that corporations try to cut back on so conference organisers have to be very quick to jump on any new possible bandwagon.
Since helping Informa to organise the worlds first proper mHealth Conference (the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit) in London last year it’s great to see you could nearly fill your 2010 diary attending mHealth themed conferences:

An overview of health informatics events: http://is.gd/bAQfP (can’t imagine HIT events NOT mentioning mhealth
)
Hi Bart,
Thanks for those recommendations.
As for “can’t imagine HIT events NOT mentioning mhealth”… in 2010 it’s depressing to see plenty that still don’t. Even some of the ones you expect to have their foot on the ball don’t even appear to have their eye on it!

[...] As CEO of Microsoft it wasn’t Bill Gates’ task to “push the industry” and there is no point in even suggesting that he didn’t achieve his goals of making Microsoft the platform of choice for HIT, depending on who you ask there is no competition! All the same Microsoft have lost it with their mobile strategy (as this open letter to Steve Ballmer articulates very nicely – note it was written before the billion $’s that MS wasted killing the Danger MVNO and KIN devices) so you’d be better looking to the likes of Steve Jobs at Apple, Olli Pekka Kallasvuo at Nokia, Koh Dong-Jin at Samsung or Vittorio Colao at Vodafone (Chair of the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit – the event that started the global and somewhat unrelenting interest in mHealth conferences).

[...] start replacing eHealth. At the time this was slightly interesting because unlike in 2010 (in which I’ve noted some 30+ mHealth events) in 2008 there had been none. In 2008 I’d chaired an eHealth conference at City University in [...]
[...] Healthcare Industry Summit in London started this trend (with my help of course!) and now in 2010 there have been more than 35 events and there are still a few more before the year is out – don’t miss the Mobile [...]
[...] In 2010 I counted more than 45 mHealth themed events and with 2011 fast approaching I thought I’d start compiling a list of the events we’ve got to look forward to for 2011. Of course if you know of any more please add them in the comments and I’ll update the list: [...]
[...] 2010 yılında farklı ülkelerde 45’ten fazla mobil sağlık konulu etkinlik gerçekleştirildi. 2011 yılında da mobil sağlık etkinlikleri artan bir hızla devam etti/ediyor. Geçmiş etkinlikleri ve önümüzdeki etkinlikleri liste halinde bir araya getirdiğimizde farklı başlıklarda aynı temalı 50′nin üzerinde etkinlik olduğunu görüyoruz. Konu ile ilgili bildiğiniz başka etkinlikler varsa onları iletişim bölümünden yazarsanız bu listeye ekleyebiliriz. [...]
[...] will be familiar with the lists I make of mHealth events eg. 2010 (I counted 45), 2011 (I’ve counted 48 so far) but I’ve just noted another little trend [...]
