This company seems to be creating innovative m-health solutions.

Designing and Conducting Health Systems Research Projects - Health Systems Research (HSR) has proved to be a useful tool for health decision makers at all levels over the past 20 years, providing them with the necessary data for informed decision making.

These pages offer information on the current use and potential of mHealth in developing countries. One of the barriers to wider use of mobile devices is a lack of easy access to information and knowledge on what is working and how, and under which circumstances. This Platform aims to fill this gap.

"The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. W3C is a forum for information, commerce, communication, and collective understanding. On this page, you'll find W3C news, links to W3C technologies and ways to get involved. New visitors can find help in Finding Your Way at W3C. We encourage organizations to learn more about W3C and about W3C Membership."

"Public health surveillance is the ongoing collection and analysis of data to identify and respond to community health problems in a timely manner. Frequently, important public health information is distributed among many disparate databases, and includes far more than just clinical data. Infectious, gastrointestinal or respiratory illnesses may be detected by monitoring emergency room visits, water contaminations and air quality. Also, some helpful correlative data may exist online (e.g. pollens and allergens). As of now, meaningful integration of all these disparate data to inform public health practice has been the major barrier to their use in public health surveillance systems."

Mobile devices became pervasive objects as soon as people used mobile phones, smart phones and PDAs anywhere and at anytime. However, the design and implementation of mobile applications is still not straightforward. Moreover, decision makers can't easily estimate the risk of a project due to the difficulties to compare the various capabilities of existing software platforms for mobile devices. Beside this, the design and implementation of user interfaces for mobile devices and applications is very different from what is done for desktop PCs due to the different form factors and context of use.

"Wireless industry association CTIA teamed up with Harris Interactive to conduct a nationwide survey that found 78 percent of the U.S. is interested in mobile health solutions and 15 percent of the U.S. is extremely or very interested in learning more about mHealth. About 19 percent of the people surveyed said that they would upgrade their current mobile phone plan to gain access to mHealth services, while some 11 percent admitted that they would even switch their wireless service provider to receive mobile healthcare services."
