Event Introduction
The marriage of latest mobile technology and an evolving healthcare demand drives the rapid market growth for mobile health. Indeed, the revenues grow from $230 million in 2010 to $392 million in 2015, according to research from Frost & Sullivan.
However, this market is still in the very early stages. It has been noted that the product development and commercialization are facing the challenges of new regulations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But the upside to FDA involvement in the market could prevent health apps from unwarranted medical claims, safety and privacy concerns and even intellectual property violation.
HYSTA Digital Health SIG and SVCWireless mHealth SIG have invited a group of subject-matter experts to present their insights and advice about the challenges, and to discuss the possible solutions for making a safe and robust healthcare system more cost efficient.

Craig Opperman is recognized as one of the world's leading intellectual property strategists and brings more than 25 years of legal, international corporateexecutive and engineering experience to his practice. Mr. Opperman specializes in working with intellectual property as a corporate asset and in particular where that asset intersects with a company's business.
Â
Before joining DLA Piper, Mr. Opperman was formerly a partner at Morgan Lewis and Cooley Godward and then at Reed Smith. Before Morgan Lewis, he served as General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Strategy of Health Hero Network. Earlier in his career, he was Chief IP Officer of OpenTV and its controlling shareholder, Dutch-based MIH. When Mr. Opperman joined OpenTV, he became the first ever chief IP officer in any publicly traded company. Select career highlights include developing OpenTV's well-publicized patent strategy to protect its "one-click shopping" innovations, which pre-date Amazon.com's by more than three years. He also conducted the IP due diligence for MIH's investment into Chinese Internet giant, Tencent and was the architect of their initial IP strategy. At Health Hero Mr. Opperman managed and developed a patent portfolio rated by a 2003 MIT study as one of the top 15 most cited IT patent portfolios.
Other highlights include assisting Friendster in the 2010 sale of its patent portfolio to Facebook - a reported $40 million transaction - and being the chief architect of a patent portfolio that survived two litigations and was widely licensed to generate over $75 million for Avistar, Inc. In all, Mr. Opperman has represented patent portfolios that have generated nearly $200 million for their owners. Most recently, he led the legal team that assisted in the $2.38 billion valuation of approximately 1300 Kodak patent properties.

Bill Evans is principal and founder (1992) of Bridge Design, a medical product development consulting firm in San Francisco. Bridge works on a wide variety of medical devices as well as consumer pharmaceutical, surgical, and diagnostic products. Bridge has been designing UIs for medical devices for 15 years and recently has been working on cloud based medical apps too. An active design researcher, Mr. Evans's involvement in projects focuses on the early stages of innovation and design strategy, and he travels extensively to interact or observe healthcare professionals and patients. His client experience is about half venture capital-backed medical device companies and half Fortune 1000 companies. He writes extensively on design and design management and is a frequent speaker at medical device conferences. He has served on MD&DI's Editorial Advisory Board since 2003. Raised in London as the son of a chemist and biologist that could quote Shakespeare as easily as Bessemer and Darwin, Mr. Evans is a true interdisciplinarian. Apart from his two masters degrees-one in design engineering (DIC Imperial College, London) and one in industrial design, (MDes Royal College of Art, London), his undergraduate studies included mechanical and electrical engineering, basic sciences, and social sciences. He has 25 years of product development experience, including four years as vice president at Lunar Design and five years as vice president of design at a small British domestic appliance maker. He is an aficionado of latin/jazz percussion, upright bass, and guitar, and he enjoys snowboarding and mountain biking with his two sons. When he was a young recent graduate, he worked for a year teaching mentally handicapped young adults how to farm, pacing himself about one week ahead of his students in terms of learning the skills. As a result of this brief farming experience, he is probably the only medical designer in Silicon Valley who can hand-milk a goat.
