This year, the second annual mHealth Summit Europe is taking place as part of eHealth Week, Europe's largest pan-European conference: an all-encompassing event focusing on leadership and the continuum of care – healthcare from the home to the hospital. It is now more relevant than ever to bring these two events together, reflecting that mHealth and eHealth will slowly but surely be coming together in the near future. It is becoming a reality that as the Health IT market develops, mHealth will become an essential part of eHealth and they will both come hand in hand. This represents a unique opportunity to learn about the latest advances in health IT and how mHealth fits into the bigger picture.
