Quote
  "mHealth application-based predictive models will enhance workflow efficiency, guiding providers to individual patients for whom timely intervention can reduce clinical risk and efficiently utilize resources. The availability of real-time and near-real-time actionable, patient-specific predictive models via mHealth applications will be an evolutionary leap forward for the healthcare provider toolkit and a major contributor to the success of healthcare reform.” Peter Edelstein MD, Chief Medical Officer, Elsevier/MEDai
