The time has arrived for Mobile Health, as demonstrated by the 9 vendors testing the Mobile Health Document (MHD) IHE Profile at the recent North American Connectathon. This new MHD Profile will be issued for Trial Implementation following the ITI Domain meeting in Paris end of February.
IHE now offers 3 Profiles on Mobile Health  for testing at the IHE-Europe 2015 Connectathon:

• Patient Demographics Query for Mobile (PDQm)
• Mobile Access to Healthcare Documents (MHD), nicknamed XDS on FHIR
• Internet User Authorization (IUA)

These are the first Profiles based on the emerging HL7 FHIR Restful API standards. Participating vendors to the Luxembourg Connectathon are encouraged to add these mobile health capabilities to their planned IHE Profile testing. Please contact our technical manager.

IHE also encourages you to also participate in Med-e-Tel Conference (held the last three days of the Connectathon, April 22-24). It is a well-established conference and exhibition in Telemedicine and eHealth which will feature in the next News Pulse.
