David Doherty, CoFounder, 3G Doctor
David is one of the founders of 3G Doctor. He began studies in Medicine at University College Hospital in London before leaving to research and design a remote care solution that would provide patients with a means of private and economical access to the attentions of an informed registered Doctor. The rapid adoption of 3G Video Phones in the UK and Ireland has created this new point of care for more than 10 million patients. By 2010 in the Industrialised World 49% of all mobile subscriptions are being used by 3G devices on 3G networks.
Davids role at 3G Doctor involves bringing together feedback from patients & Doctors, the public, mobile developer communities and medical technologists to learn how to improve the patient experience and begin to understand ways in which 3G Doctor can deliver new care experiences.
An important part of this role includes posting and communicating with the readers of this blog and managing the mHealth networking group on Linkedin that brings together a 1850+ member strong tribe of the key influencers in the global mHealth movement. In 2009 David was also active in helping found and organise the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit – the leading industry event for the global mHealth market.
David is a regular contributor to leading industry events and has chaired the Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit (London), Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit Middle East (Dubai), Mobile Strategies for Pharma (London) and Pharmaceutical m-Health (London).
David has also presented at the following events: CareWare (Denmark), Guardian Mobile & Wireless Healthcare (Birmingham), Health 2.0 Europe (Paris), HISI Conference and Scientific Symposium (Dublin), mHealth Summit (Washington DC), MobileCollective mHealth ThinkCamp (London), Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit (Belgium), Mobile Monday (Amsterdam, Belfast and London chapters), Mobile technologies in e-Health (Belfast), Smart Device & Mobile User Experience Summit (London), Smart Healthcare Live (London), Telus mHealth Workshop (Toronto & Ottawa), The International Telecare and Telehealth Conference (London), Total Telecom mHealth Breakfast Briefing (London) and Transforming Healthcare through Mobile & Wireless Technologies (London).

David also provides consulting services to companies looking to get a better understanding of opportunities they have to add value in the mHealth market. Much of this involves confidential projects but client companies have included leading infrastructure (eg. Cisco), software (eg. Microsoft), telco (eg. Telus), care providers (eg. the NHS), medical device (eg. Accunostics) and pharmaceutical (eg. Pfizer) brands.
