Digital technology and the patient experience - What are the opportunities and challenges of ‘mHealth’?

Description

Digital technology has already transformed the way we work, but, maybe surprisingly, has yet to have the same impact on the way we provide healthcare.  Even the questions regarding how and indeed should this happen are still to be answered fully.  Many of the challenges faced resonate with those experienced previously in the early development of medicines, including assessing efficacy, safety and deciding who will fund them. The need to bring together academics, clinicians and industry was demonstrated during an innovative interactive discussion session at ECNP2018 on the topic of ‘mHealth’ or ‘mobile health’ - the application of digital technology to the measurement of patient experience.
