This literally is a SmartCrowd!

The baton is passed to a Crowd of forward thinking and inquisitive healthcare professionals who are looking to leverage technology as a means to improve healthcare. Every Wednesday at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET this SmartCrowd gathers on Twitter for a chat spotlighting mobile health (#mHealth).

What’s a Twitter chat you ask?

It’s an hour of real time Twitter dialogue, focused on a few structured questions posted by a moderator. In this case the subject of discussion is mobile health, it’s role and value in the health setting.

Can an hour spent chatting in 140 characters or less generate valuable dialogue?  You bet!

Past discussion questions had this SmartCrowd defining mobile health, exploring the role of mobile in medical education and patient care as well as debating the responsibility of the FDA in mobile health and app development.
