EuMHA meeting report
- Tags:
Last week I attended the EuMHA meeting in Manchester, UK. EuMHA has managed to get all key-players from the health eco-system around the same table, in order to implement mHealth in a constructive and efficient way. And always with the patients interest in mind!
There are only a few countries in Europe where EuMHA is present, but there are more to come. And as the countries multiply, it will create a very good network for implementation of mHealth applications. To strecth it I would like to say, that those countries who are in the EuMHA network will avoid costly and seldom very efficient pilots, parallell pilots or pilots on applications that have already proven useless.
I share the vision with many others, that EuMHA will be a worldwide network for the benefit of the patients and the health economy.
But it requires an open mind, honest and open communication between all, clear goals with the mHealth implementations and shared information.
This can be tricky, why it is was highly appreciated that we had an experienced lawyer joining the eco-system, to get it right from the start and to have comments on several of the topics discussed.
Next steps are agree for the eco-system and I highly salut and support them.
Last but not least, thank you to the University of Manchester for your kind hospitality and hard work before and during the meeting.
