Two major organizations pursuing the wider use of digital, connected and wireless health technologies have combined, consolidating the tasks to foster the utilization of new IT in the healthcare industry.
The Wireless-Life Sciences Alliance (WLSA) has merged its operations with the Personal Connected Health Alliance, a not-for-profit organization developed by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). In return, the Personal Connected Health Alliance has accepted and adopted the WLSA membership model. WLSA’s executive-level engagement and Convergence Summit activities will be enabled into the Personal Connected Health Alliance’s annual conference.
Robert B. McCray, co-founder and CEO of WLSA, has been entitled as a senior advisor of thought leadership for the alliance and will serve on its board of managers.
"This alliance with PCHAlliance and the merger of our activities depicts an exciting chance to more effectively foster international relationships and business opportunities for our members and offer increased visibility in the connected health ecosystem", claimed McCray.
WLSA was developed in the year of 2005 and has emphasized on digital, connected and wireless health technologies driven by science, medicine, technology, and engineering and big data analytics. It developed the Wireless Health Conference series to give a cross-disciplinary research forum for the field. That occasion, hosted in collaboration with leading institutes and academic institutions, will sustain through collaboration with IEEE/EMBS and with the collaboration of the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
PCHAlliance executives claim that the organization's aim is to assist people to make health and wellness an effortless part of daily life. The Alliance is convening the global personal connected health community—technology companies, payers, governments, healthcare providers and the public—to modify the technical, business, policy and social initiatives essential to advance the field. Among its tasks, PCHAlliance established and promotes technical standards, facilitates collaboration, shares research, convenes conferences and advocates policy to assist advance personal connected health.
