"Should there be an mHealth app for that?"
October 7th, 4:00 - 5:00pm, Trent Hall Room 124
"Mounting interest in the field of mHealth-- the provision of health-related services via mobile communications-- can be traced to the evolution of several interrelated trends. In many parts of the world, epidemics and a shortage of healthcare workers continue to present grave challenges for governments and health providers. Yet in these same places, the explosive growth of mobile comunications over the past decade offers a new hope for the promotion of quality healthcare" (UN Foundation).

“Our goal was to disseminate content about this new way of living life, about what we can learn from this amazing group of people who can look at the world’s biggest problems as opportunities and not impossible obstacles,” said Mourão. “We truly believe that their work can be very inspiring, especially for the youth. So we have built a strategy to reach people all over the world.”
“And what these people, who have so many differences between them, have in common? The same desire to change the world, a strong ethical fiber and a lot of persistence.”
