Imperial College's Social Computing Group (fka Internet Centre) has been one of the key supporters of Over the Air since our first event in 2008. This year Brian Fuchs and Vasa Curcin from the SCG are going to present a session on mobile health. Increasingly, mobiles are being used by individuals to collect, manage and share biometric data, particularly in the area of personalised healthcare and sports, where there is a broad range of apps available to smartphone users. The implications of what is effectively "crowdsourcing" of monitoring functions traditionally associated with institutional health providers for the well-being both of individuals and of society as whole are immense and will lead to reduction of hospital readmissions, better quality of life for patients, and improved healthcare efficiency. This session will bring together application developers, NHS IT professionals, entrepreneurs and healthcare workers, to discuss the state-of-play in the mHealth arena and the future directions for integration with traditional healthcare.
