mHealth Summit 2013A couple of weeks ago, I attended the mHealth Summit here in D.C. (at the swanky Gaylord Convention Center even!). It was three days of  tech, apps and health-related stuff. It’s not quite the TeleRead beat, but I thought some of you might be interested in the articles I wrote about the Summit for GadgeTell, one of our sister sites. Especially check out the last one where a piece of Star Trek technology is close to reality.

Star Trek SickBay Bed! Well, Not Quite, But Close

In the weeks prior to the mHealth 2013 Summit, I received numerous press releases and offers to stop by vendor booths and interview people. Since GadgeTell has a consumer electronic focus, I ignored most of them, but this one did get my attention.
