Once again we were very proud to have been able to contribute to Informa Telecom and Media’s Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit which took place last week in London.

In it’s fourth year the event continues thanks to the continued sponsorship by Qualcomm, the worlds leading smartphone chip developer and early stage mHealth technology investor. Despite only running for a single day (previous events all had a 2 day format) this is probably as a result of the increasing competition with rival events (in sharp contrast to 2009 when there was no more than 2 mHealth events in 2012 I’ve counted more than 90 so far) and wider industry recognition and interest in the mHealth opportunity (eg. HIMSS acquisition of the mHealth Summit).

Companies represented at the event included:

3G Doctor, Accenture, Acibadem, Almende B V, Analysys Mason, Applied Nanodetectors, Avea Iletisim Hizmetleri AS, BT Global, Cabinet Office, Celesio Group, Chronic Foundation, Cisco, Colt, Continua Health Alliance, Cordys, Covington and Burlington, Deloitte, Deutsche Telekom, Dialog Devices, Doro AB, Du, Eircom, Embassy of Belgium, Ericsson Nicola Tesla, European Commission, European Connected Health Campus/Alliance, Everything Everywhere, Fjord, Golden Gekko, GSMA, Healthcare Landscape, Highlands & Islands Enterprise, Hitachi, HSBC, Huawei Technologies, IBM, Imperial College London, IMS Research, InfomatiX, Informa, Intel Corporation, iPlato, Kaiser Permanente, KPN, Medicapps, MindTree Ltd, MiTAC Europe, Mobistar, MoDiSe, Morgan Stanley, National Hospital for Neurology & Neurosurgery, NHS, NTT Docomo, O2 Health, Odense Universitets Hospital, Orange/France Telecom, Orange Healthcare, Our Mobile Health, Ovum, Panasonic, Philips, Physiological Measurements, Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, Portugal Telecom, Qualcomm, Qualcomm Life, Quintiles, QTel, Reka Health PTE Ltd, Resilient Networks Plc, RIM, Robert Bosch Healthcare, Rothschild Advisors, Samsung, Sanofi-Aventis, Scripts Health, Siemens, Singtel, Sony, Telecom Italia, Telefonica Digital, Telekom Srbjia, Telenor Group, The Alloy, The New Ghanian Voice, Trent Pearce, Turkcell, United Health Group, University Of Sussex, Verizon, ViVo Smart Medical Devices, Vodafone, Voluntis, Welsh Government and Wyless.

As with the previous annual events (read my reviews from the 2009, 2010 and 2011 events here) I find it impossible to do justice with a single post summary so I’ve divided my thoughts up into smaller more manageable snippets, please click the following links to read more detail and as always feel welcome to share your thoughts and comments:
