FCC Continues Push on mHealth Innovation

At the recent mHeath Innovation Expo, the Federal Communications Commission brought together a terrific mix of exhibitors from the government, telecommunications, healthcare and health information technology communities who share a dedication to encouraging new and innovative mHealth products, and streamlining their introduction for use by consumers, including people with disabilities. Commissioner Mignon Clyburn, who opened the event, said innovation was key to the success of mHealth. Our goal is for the use of mHealth technology to become a routine medical best practice – sooner rather than later. We hope our work with the community -- through events such as the FCC’s mHealth Innovation Expo -- is a catalyst for more and better mHealth.
