- providing specialist diagnosis and treatment through phone or video images or through combining mobile phones with other health technology
- allowing individuals to communicate with health service providers through call centers, help lines, toll-free emergency services
- using mobile phones to support communication between health service providers and clients through appointment and treatment reminders, community mobilization campaigns, and awareness raising about health issues
- using mobile technology for health monitoring and data collection; and
- providing access to health information for health care professionals at the point of care through decision support systems. [from conference website]
