For the fourth year in a row, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) is proud to sponsor this week’s mHealth Summit. We see the mHealth Summit—attended by about 4,500 leaders from 50 countries—as an important gathering of thought leaders to source new ideas and learn about innovations in mobile health and the future of wireless medical connectivity. While there is no shortage of private sector investments in these technologies and businesses, we want to help identify investments that ensure that the mHealth space creates the greatest social good.
In advance of the summit, we caught up with Al Shar, vice president and senior program officer, to talk about his vision for mobile health, as well as the role the Foundation can play moving forward.

This week, as a member of the Open mHealth team, I will be at the mHealth Summit to showcase our work enabling integrated mHealth solutions that patients and providers can use to track and improve their health. At a special panel session, we will hear from two patients about how they have used integrated mHealth technology to manage their health.
One of those patients is Alex Freeman, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 4 and is now a pediatric acute care nurse at UCLA’s Mattel Children’s Hospital. Before the event, I spoke with Alex about her experiences using mHealth to manage her diabetes. The data integration allows her to pull in weight, blood glucose, and insulin data from a number of different mHealth self-service resources, such as:
- Entra and the Qualcomm, for tracking blood glucose and weight, via the 2Net cloud integration
- RunKeeper, for tracking exercise
- PAM for tracking mood
- BodyMedia for sleep data and calorie counting
- ohmage for integrating data
