In order to gather extended feedback and consolidate scientific findings, a summary version of research reports will be made available for public consultation.

The summary report of Work Package 5: Scenario Exercise, “Lessons from a Scenario Exercise in ICT for Ageing,”will be open to extended online consultation from May 1, 2013 through May 31, 2013.

MovingLife's Stakeholder Conference on 18 April 2013 was a success with stakeholders from various domains who participated actively in the discussions following the presentations by external experts. The many points, comments and recommendations are currently being integrated into the consolidated roadmap and a report will be published shortly on the website presenting the recommendations and an action plan for the future widespread use of mHealth.

The workshop report, D4.4 Stakeholder Conference, and presentations from the conference will be available for download here on the website shortly.

MovingLife’s consortium would like to thank all participants for their contribution to the success of the Stakeholder Conference.

The MovingLife project has produced a simulation video based on the vision scenario "There must be an App for that!". The simulation will allow for a much more insightful way to to validate the realism of the vision scenario and assess the central elements of the roadmaps. The elements that are dealt with in the simulation video include patient empowerment and inclusion, medical guidelines, connectivity and interferences, data protection and privacy, and interoperable healthcare systems.

The video can be accessed here. It will also be presented at MovingLife's Stakeholder Conference on 18 April 2013.

The MovingLife project will be presenting the final roadmap for mHealth at big international stakeholder conference on Thursday 18 April 2013 in Brussels.
