Don't mean to pollute this list, but does anyone know the upcoming
conferences and congresses that deal with mobile technologies for
health like ODK and all the others (OpenXdata, FrontlineSMS,
MedicMobile, OpenMRS, etc.) ? I know only of IADIS e-health in Lisbon
(July) and Mobile Health Summit in Capetown (June).
http://ictd2012.org and http://dev2012.org/ is where we publish most
of our work. This year, the conferences are co-located in Atlanta and
will be from March 11th to the 15th.
Both conferences are heavily biased towards the academic, but lots of
practitioners show up, especially for ICTD. Last time, I saw folks
from FrontlineSMS, OpenMRS, Ushahidi, MOTECH, MVP, etc.
ICTD generally focuses on work that's been evaluated in the field, and
has a mix of technical (e.g., computer science) and non-technical
(e.g., social science). DEV is good if you want to see more cutting
edge technical work (mostly computer science) that is a few years out
and may never get deployed.
