On May 16-17, 2013, ISTS hosted the third Securing Information Technology in Healthcare (SITH3) workshop in collaboration with members of the Trustworthy Information Systems for Healthcare (TISH) project team. This workshop's focus was on the exciting and ever transforming field of mHealth – the application of mobile computing technologies to health and wellness. The SITH Workshops traditionally bring together experts from many disciplines to discuss information technology in healthcare.

Panels

Experts in mHealth convened at the Tuck School of Business for a series of presentations and panel discussions covering a range of topics focused on mHealth applications in the evolving healthcare setting. These topics included: 

• Panel 1: Intersection of mHealth and Behavioral Health
• Panel 2: Evolving Business Models in mHealth
