I
would like to introduce myself as a new member of the Consumer
Health Informatics Work Group. I am new to this group but no stranger to technology,
which is a passion of mine. I personally and professionally dabble in web
development, graphics and video, social media, and application development for
the iPhone/iPad. I am particularly interested in the mobile health
(#mhealth tags on Twitter) movement of taking health care to the patient using
medical apps. This is what Consumer Health Informatics is all about. With this
movement (mobile health)-health care providers, including the Registered
Dietitian, will be required to do things not done in the past. Help us
determine what areas of opportunity are the best!
Join
us on March 28th, form 3-4 PM Eastern for a Consumer Health
Informatics Roundtable Discussion. Check
out Eat
Right Weekly for the details on how to join the call.
