MOBILE HEALTH

With Mobile Health 2010, we built on the success of our two previous events at Stanford: Mobile Persuasion and Texting 4 Health. These were high-quality learning experiences. These events also led to new partnerships, research, and innovations... Since 2007 we have been bringing together academics, government agencies, mobile vendors, and other private sector health organizations at conferences and workshops to share insights, resources, and best practices... Extending our work on mobile persuasion, the lab also created and hosted an event with sponsorship from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, called "Texting 4 Health" in 2008. This was the first-ever conference about using SMS to promote health behavior. Again, we created an edited volume:Texting 4 Health: A Simple, Powerful Way to Change Lives. This book brings together the best ideas about texting and health in 15 easy-to-read chapters.
