mHealth: Innovative collaboration between physicians, patients and technologists

Wireless technology is transforming the way people communicate as quickly as a mutating virus, and the medical community is not immune. In June 2011, there were more wireless devices in the United States than people, and more than 73% of physicians owned a smartphone — a 22% increase from 2008. This proportion is expected to reach 81% in 2012, according to estimates from the Manhattan Research Group.
