Keynote: Mobile health solutions need to look beyond technology
The mobile health industry must take into account the needs of stakeholders beyond the technology sector, Pramod Gaur, VP of TeleHealth for UnitedHealth Group, said during his keynote at the recent GSMA-mHA Mobile Health Summit. “In every solution that we look at, we should talk about each of the stakeholders and how they fit in to any new solution if it is going to go beyond a pilot, for sustainability,” he argued. Gaur identified the four groups which need to be considered as patients, non-professional caregivers, medical professionals, and the ultimate “payer” for services.
