Day 2 at the mHealth summit can be summed up by one word: failure. But in a good way: a session on maternal and child health in Africa offers opportunities in which participants might learn from past mistakes.
UN Dispatch is at the mHealth Summit in Washington, DC this week. Check out the live stream for an ongoing conversation about how mobile technologies are being harnessed to advance global health.

The last day of the mHealth Summit kicks off with keynote addresses from Dr. Judith Rodin, president of the Rockefeller Foundation and Dr. Julio Frenk Dean of the Harvard School of Public Health.
