Medica 2015: Mobile health applications in focus

Mobile health applications are a primary focus at the Medica Connected Healthcare Forum, whereby, this year as well, the app competition organised by Mark Wächter will be supplying exciting ideas for helpful mobile device applications. For example, the iPad app “Medopad” was triumphant at Medica 2014: It makes it possible to safely integrate registered health data into existing databases and make these data available on tablet PCs.

At the Medica Connected Healthcare Forum, experts will discuss ideas for helpful mobile device applications.
Furthermore, the app, “CaridoSecur active”, was placed on the winners’ podium, which is an app that is coupled to a 12-channel ECG checking device and gives instantaneous and specific recommended action for patients, and alongside it was the smart app “OUH Find Vej”. The app, which, as a first step, is available in the Danish language, acts as a navigation system for the user enabling one to find their way through the corridors and distinguish between the departments of a hospital.

“From the beginning on, the forum was received well and it was a complete success during every day of the event with around 2,000 participants for the presentations that were held solely in English,” explained Horst Giesen, director of the MEDICA, seeing decisive success factors in internationality and its thematic orientation: “On a transnational level, in particular, issues regarding the networking of heath industry players and related technological solutions are quite future-oriented.” In addition to the Medica Connected Healtcare Forum, the Medica Heahlth IT Forum, which was established several years ago, is taking up trendy topics in the field of Heath IT. Here, the primary focus is on innovations within the field of telemedicine.
