Opening Keynote
What Next for Mobile Health – Where do we start?
Stakeholders took a positive decision at Arab health this January. How have policy makers, government and industry leaders progressed? What have we achieved in the past 6 months and how have we moved a step closer to implementation?

The Economic Viability of Mobile Health
What is your business model? This is a question often asked by experts. They see discussions and projections but seldom succeed in monetising a prototype which they can benchmark against. This session will share a regional case study to understand challenges they face. It will help delegates understand why stakeholder integration adds economic viability versus standalone implementation.
Karim Taga, Managing Director, Arthur D Little, Austria

Award Winning Presenter
How does Mobile Health relate to me as a Doctor?
A doctor in a clinic is a fragmented stakeholder willing to take this forward. He cannot onboard the 360 degree perspective we all talk about at a national level. How then can he leave this conference learning what he could change at his clinic to generate efficiency in remote monitoring and wellness?

The Synergy between Mobile Health and Primary care
Primary care is your first interaction with a physician but is it always necessary? Mobile Health has replaced this particular layer achieving dynamic results. These are tangible in their own right to encourage further interest via measurable results which have proven mutually beneficial to the patient and physician.

The Relevance of mobile health to Health Insurance?
A question synonymous with Health care off late – who pays? Insurance has been a major stakeholder sitting on the fence all along. No physical billing, no payment. Clinical trials and R&D don’t always substantiate enough evidence to change payment policy. How then will Insurance defer this or will it actually spot the opportunity to generate lower billing and better annual subscriptions in the long run?

A Roadmap to Implement Mobile Health in your clinic
So you want to start tomorrow. Do you think your patient will understand and trust the technology? Will you have to gain permission from the authorities? What will the results lead to and how will they be analysed. Can you maintain continuity? At the end of the day can you do this on your own?
Kenneth Seymens, Managing Partner, Medica IQ, UAE

Wareed – A Ministry of Health Case Study
Implementing IT in healthcare – Changing the Healthcare professionals’ mindset
The biggest challenge in implementing IT in healthcare is not technological but is psychological. As the saying goes ‘the most expensive IT solution is the one nobody uses’. Health care professionals have always been and will continue to be resistant to change, for many reasons – ‘don’t fix what isn’t broken’; ‘the patients come first – I don’t have time to learn/use a new system’ etc. This talk looks at how healthcare professionals think; how to manage change in a healthcare setting and ultimately how to get users to want even more new technology. How to achieve the ultimate goal – ‘Pull not Push’
Dr Colin Fincham , Chief Operating Officer, intellehealth and Project Director – Wareed - UAE

Who Should Gain Access to Patient Records and When?
This session will discuss risk from both an infringement of privacy perspective (patient concerns) and a commercially focused discrimination perspective (refusal of insurance based on information access). Are these really worth barring the progress we can make if we go ahead?
Balajit Bedi, President, Telemedicine Society, India
