Industry leaders Abbott, Microsoft Research, Pfizer, Qualcomm, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Skype and Verizon Wireless have joined the 2010 mHealth Summit as sponsors, the conference organizers announced today.

The 2010 mHealth Summit, a partnership of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, the National Institutes of Health and the mHealth Alliance, will connect leaders in health, government, the private sector, academia and not-for-profit organizations to advance discussion and decision-making related to the intersection of mobile technology, health practice and research, and policy in the United States and abroad. The conference will be held November 8-10 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.

As the Summit date nears a diverse group of sponsors is offering their support, from leading charitable organizations, to pharmaceutical and technology companies, wireless carriers and media groups.

Anthony Lewis, Vice President, Open Development, of Verizon Wireless said: "Verizon works across the technology, research and business communities every day to advance the use of existing and emerging wireless solutions. We are focused on enabling innovation in patient participation, the quality of preventative care and cost controls as well as enhancing communication among medical professions, hospitals and patients. We're pleased to be a part of the upcoming mHealth Summit, where these ideas will be discussed and attendees can learn more about the role wireless will play in the future."

Qualcomm will host a technology pavilion on the exhibitor floor, which consists of 40 companies covering a broad spectrum of innovative wireless health companies. "We are honored to participate in the mHealth Summit, whose participants are working to lower the costs and improve the quality of health around the world," said Don Jones, Vice President of Business Development, Health and Life Sciences, Qualcomm.
