I had the great opportunity of volunteering for BJ Fogg's Mobile Health 2010, which brought luminaries and speakers from all manner of corporations, NGOs, and arms of the government, from the CDC to ViveCoach, from the HeartMath institute to startups such as qpid.me.
BJ Fogg, of Stanford's Persuasive Technology lab, also invited speakers from academia, such as Jon Froehlich from UW and attendees from Intel's Research Lab-Seattle, Nokia Research, and the like.
If you are more of a text-based learning, the
hashtag #mh2010 on Twitter contains chunks of the conversation, and the account
@texting4health gathered and summarized parts of the conference, tweet by tweet.
We'll re-tweet some of these here, give a taste of the conversation:
