The global proliferation of information and communication technologies,
along with improved mobile computing accessibility, enhanced security and
cloud-based data exchanges have germinated interests in those seeking to
apply existing and emerging information technologies to address health issues
throughout diverse regions of the world. These applications and solutions
can vary widely depending on the resources; infrastructure and culture
inherent to regions. These include global health education systems,
emerging low-cost mobile health apps for all healthcare actors, public
health monitoring and tracking systems, emergency response systems, as well
as traditional telemedicine applications. These efforts are already
impacting the rapid growth and further development of global healthcare
solutions and applications arising from the active collaboration among
cross-disciplinary researchers, multinational agencies and international
clinical practitioners

This minitrack will examine similarities and differences in how regions as
diverse as North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia
and the Middle-East approach to healthimprovements. This includes emerging
trends for applying innovative health IT solutions to improve general
population and community health care across the globe, including low-cost,
mobile and other emerging health technological applications. These
solutions will provide a multinational perspective on the benefits of
mobile health and other emerging information technologies and describes
different examples and applications implemented.

Global Health Strategy and Applications relate to an emerging trend for
applying innovative health IT solutions to improve population health and
community health care across the globe, emphasizing low-cost, mobile and
other emerging health technological applications. These solutions will
provide a multinational perspective on the benefits of mobile health and
other emerging information technologies and describes different examples
and applications implemented.

Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:

- Reviews of global health IT development

- Comparisons of regional strategies and applications

- Proposals for development, extensions and improvements of global
health innovations
and solutions

- Examination of strategies and approaches of technology transfer among
different countries (e.g, global health IT governance; multi-national
health services
networks and architectures, open source applications, etc.)

- Studies on the impact of the adoption of innovative (e.g., low-cost)
technologies

- Specific applications, including epidemiological surveillance systems,
emergency and disaster response systems, and chronic disease management
systems

- Public health and environmental health monitoring and tracking systems

- Methodological issues pertaining to the evaluation of global health
technologies
and initiatives

- Socio-cultural-policy assessments of Health IT priorities

- Trans-jurisdictional issues surrounding the implementation of Health
technologies
and initiatives

- Impact of regional strategies and culture of nature and styles of Health IT
implementation
