Ibhi-keynote-green. Interview: Verizon Wireless on mHealth. John Maschenic, Associate Director, Vertical Data Sales, Verizon Wireless has been responsible for the company’s enterprise data sales organization for the last seven years and has focused on healthcare since 2005. Since much of the discussion currently underway in the mHealth industry has been focused on application development, hospital uptake of mHealth services, and mobile phone capabilities, we decided to catch up with Verizon Wireless to discuss the wireless carrier’s role in mHealth. The interview also covers the launch of the Pill Phone app last year, stimulus money, EMRs and how mobile health service developers can work with Verizon Wireless. Verizon Wireless was one of the first carriers to have a rather high profile launch of a mobile healthcare application: The Pill Phone app from Vocel.
How did that application’s launch last April come to be? I actually met the company, Vocel, at the Wireless Life Sciences Alliance summit and it was there that we created our relationship.

Well, as you might have noticed, I decided to take the weekend off from the blog. I figured it was reasonable to take a weekend off after the craziness of HIMSS. I still have a ton of content from HIMSS 10 that I’d like to post. So, watch for more of that over the next couple weeks as well. I thought a nice video to kick off the new week would be nice.
This video is of Robin Daigh from MD-IT and Craig Mercure from MxSecure talking about their partnership with Verizon to create a really interesting health information exchange. I talked about this Medical Transcription Service Consortium previously, but it was really neat to talk about it in person with Robin and Craig (Full Disclosure: Both Robin and Craig advertise on EMR and HIPAA). For now, enjoy what I think is an interesting play in the HIE space to bring together all the transcription companies and now anyone who wants to participate and start sharing clinical data.

Hosain Rahman met Steve Jobs in 2004; it did not go well. Rahman’s five-year-old startup, Aliph, was about to begin selling headsets for mobile phones, and one of his investors had arranged for him to show Jobs his first creation, a stylish earpiece connected to a phone with a thick cord.
Jobs hated it. In an hour-long session in Apple’s (AAPL) offices, Jobs intuitively exposed every shortcut the company had taken. “It was a shellacking,” Rahman says. “It was one of the most painful and formative experiences of my life.” Rahman believes that conversation was a turning point for the company now known as Jawbone. The history of Jawbone stretches back more than a decade. The headset won a variety of design awards but didn’t sell well.
The Jambox, which went on sale last fall for $200, is now the top-selling digital speaker in the country, according to the company. And now there’s UP. Global Health Institute. Remote patient monitoring to grow 26 percent. According to a research report from Kalorama Information the market for remote and wireless patient monitoring is set to grow about 26 percent annually through 2014. “With increased waiting times at doctors’ offices, some employees may have to take a sick or personal day to see the physician for what might be a routine visit and technology might help avoid that scenario,” Kalorama stated in its release. Kalorama said these systems will grow by over $6 billion this year. Last summer Kalorama released a report on the market for handheld devices in healthcare, which included mobile phones, monitoring devices and everything in between: By the end of 2010, Kalorama expected the total market for handheld devices in healthcare to reach $8.8 billion.
Sales for patient monitoring tools topped $5.3 billion in 2009, according to the company, while “administrative devices” like PDAs, smartphones, tablet PCs and handheld scanners generated about $3 billion in sales during 2009. Apple FaceTime May Be HIPAA Secure - Healthcare - Mobile & Wireless. FaceTime vs Skype Video Calling for iPhone Compared [VIDEO. Advertisements Now that Skype for iPhone has support for video calling, Lifehacker has gone on to compare the two of the most popular video calling options available for iPhone users, FaceTime and Skype, to see which one has better audio and visual quality. The test compares video calling over WiFi from iPhone 4 to iPhone 4 (or iPod touch 4G), and iPhone 4 to a Mac using both FaceTime and Skype video calling technologies.
The test also shows video calling quality of Skype over AT&T 3G network as it has official support to work on it. The test performed in the video above clearly shows that FaceTime has an edge in video quality over Skype. But when it comes to more broader compatibility and support, Skype is a clear winner as it supports cross platform video calling between iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to Windows, Mac and vice versa. It also has support for video calling over 3G, something which FaceTime lacks until of course you go ahead and jailbreak your iPhone. TeleHealth Connect- Secure Messaging System.
