Securing IT in Healthcare: Part III May 17, 2013 Panel 3: Opportunities for mHealth in the Developing World Panel Abstract Mobile technology provides tremendous opportunities to make health and wellness more accessible to billions of people in developing countries. In this panel we heard from a mix of technology developers, health practitioners, and public-health officials who are pioneers in this space. We discussed technical and infrastructural challenges, sustainable business models, differing privacy laws and cultural norms, and sought to identify open research problems that need to be addressed.
