The FCC published its 360-page National Broadband Plan today and it includes a 25 page chapter on broadband and healthcare. We pulled out one section that focuses on mobile networks and “the Future of Health” that summarizes much of the activity ongoing in the mobile health industry today.

The FCC points to physicians using smartphones for remote diagnosis; consumers using mobile devices for chronic disease management; the advent of non-invasive sensors and body area networks; mobile medicine and remote monitoring; connected implantable devices; and more.
