About the Summit

Wireless Healthcare Asia Summit 2012 is the second annual event in Asia showcasing the vanguard of developments in the Wireless & Mobile Health space. The last 12 months have seen an explosive emergence of innovation in the area of medical devices and mobile health applications which are changing the delivery of care around the world. An increasing number of traditional medical device manufacturers are seeking to add wireless or mobile broadband functionality into their products, as well as popular radio interfaces to allow for interoperability between home use medical devices.

Hospitals & clinicians are increasingly empowering the patient to proactively track his or her biometric health information and then transmit usable data into personal health records to doctors, care coordinators or loved ones. These technologies are at the forefront of the changing face of healthcare. Against the backdrop of healthcare reform, Asia's aging population and the growing burden of chronic diseases, there is an unprecedented interest to tap into wireless technologies and introduce a new era of medical devices and healthcare delivery.

According to Juniper Research, mHealth is currently a $1.4 billion industry and is expected to grow nearly 22% by 2014, with healthcare IT spending reaching $40 billion. Increased adoption of mobile communication patterns in remote data collection and monitoring, patient education, diagnosis, treatment, and epidemic monitoring will fuel this growth. However, the wider benefits of m-health will fall outside the doctor-patient relationship. More importantly for sustainable business models, m-health services present a valuable marketing platform for pharma and other medical suppliers seeking to promote their products to targeted audiences.
