1st Workshop on M-Health Innovations for Quality in Healthcare (MIQH'16)
Gdansk, Poland, 11 - 14 September, 2016
Mobile Healthcare (mHealth) offers unique opportunities to reduce cost, increase efficiency and improve the quality and access to care. It enables patients and physicians to have immediate access to medical records and vital signs, while wireless technology allows physicians to serve more patients despite geographical limitations.
