This panel will focus on the security and reliability challenges posed by distributed, mobile tele-health solutions (particularly those based on mobile phones). Academic, clinical, as well as industry panelists with direct experience in the design and implementation of mobile tele-health solutions will provide insights on how those challenges have been addressed thus far, and what are some of the areas for improvement. Panelists will also discuss the required organizational, policy, and technological changes that must take place to allow these emerging solutions to become ubiquitous.
