Dear Dr. Marcinko and ME-P Readers and Subscribers,
The University of Delaware is conducting research to assess medical provider attitudes towards applications “Apps” in healthcare settings. Mobile devices hold great promise for reshaping the “time and place” where an individual receives care. This study is almost complete.

- Assessing desirable pricing structures
Invitation
I’d like to invite you and your ME-P readers to provide feedback on how you leverage Apps in the healthcare setting. The research instrument should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and all responses are confidential. The results may be published in a scholarly journal or industry research publication.
Respondents should be:
- U.S. Providers, Physicians, or Nurses
- IT Staff involved in Health IT and mobile decisions

Medical Apps Increasingly Valuable to Clinicians and Patients
2013 was a big year for the adoption of mobile medical applications by clinicians and consumers. It also saw the beginning of convergence between devices and apps used by clinicians and those used by consumers. A recent policy brief on mobile health by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, published in the journal Health Affairs, cited industry experts who predict the number of mobile health apps will increase by a rate of 25% a year for the foreseeable future.
Globally, 500 million consumers and healthcare providers will use a mobile health app within the next two years. By 2018, “half of the 3.4 billion mobile device users worldwide will download a health app,” according to the brief. Consumer pressure from these legions of smart-device owners is expected to drive healthcare system change, according to industry experts.

Apple vs. Google: An mHealth Face-Off
Industry observers have often painted the competitive mHealth landscape with a brush that wages computer manufacturer Dell and software behemoth Microsoft versus Apple–the reigning mobile healthcare champion.
However, the real battle for the heart, mind and soul of the still-emerging mHealth market places Apple and search engine giant Google squarely in the commercial trenches.

Mobile Health
“The mHealth market is wrought with challenges due to the regulatory, privacy concerns, and other risks, wireless carriers have put the stake in the ground in this market but based on our research, many end users do not believe that wireless carriers will dominate the market in the future.”

Mobile Health
“Like any emerging technology, there’s too much emphasis on the technology itself instead of the problem being solved. As such, there is a functional and ‘brand persona’ gap between the technologists building Mobile health solutions and the people who are responsible for improving health and treatment outcomes.”
