Successful Use Cases: Healthcare Apps that Reduce Friction and Generate Revenue

MobileSmith’s COO Bob Dieterle kicked off the session with a revealing look at the challenges facing hospitals as they build mobile experiences for their patients. “Hospitals know they have to go mobile,” said Dieterle, “but the problem is that they don’t understand the user experience and don’t know where to find developers to build these apps.”


Dr. Bernard Fuemmeler (Duke University) on mHealth Apps

Dr. Bernard Fuemmeler, Associate Professor and Director of mHealth@Duke at Duke University, provides a thought-provoking presentation on the state-of-the- science on mHealth apps. In his talk, he highlights how many apps designed for managing health behaviors, like weight-loss or smoking, have traditionally fallen short of including evidence-based practices and effective behavioral strategies.

Health Care Apps ROI: What to Measure and Why

Our second session was an interesting discussion on analytics in mHealth with panelists from WillowTree Apps, MediPortal, and PadInMotion. Much of the conversation centered on data sharing between providers and patients. Ricardo Funk (Senior iOS Engineer, MediPortal) said “if we give the patient the power to control their own medical records, patients will be far more willing to share that data with providers.”


Wearables, Wearables Everywhere – When Will All the Data Be Useful?

The workshop concluded with a fascinating panel on the state of wearables in the healthcare industry, featuring speakers from Duke Medicine, UNC Medical, Validic, and Strap. Having two clinicians on the panel allowed for interesting perspectives on the challenges of integrating wearables into the patient care experience.
