I made up this image as part of some consulting work I’m doing for a client helping them understand what it will take to adopt a mobile first strategy and I thought it might be helpful to share.

I find it to be a useful way of explaining why there isn’t much published records surrounding outcomes achieved through the use of mHealth (you wouldn’t be teaching someone to swim if you had only just learnt yourself and were still a few miles from the shore) and a useful way of communicating the need to view medical education as a life long experience that is intimately related to consumer technology because (as you can see) mobile (the newest mass media) has already radically transformed the role of Healthcare Professionals.

Let me know in the comments if there’s anything you would add?
