@HeatherMughal @ivanculum A6: I completely agree - I am very interested in wearable technology. I already enjoy many of the features on my watch - ECG, sleep tracking, HR monitor - I would love to see how we can use this as health care providers. #Futurehealth #MHST601

@ivanculum A3: one of the barriers is the cost of implementing an EMR. Especially when it is felt this money could be better spent on improving access to care. #MHST601 #FutureHealth
