3G Doctor

Due to exceptional demand resulting from #CoronavirusPandemic the @3GDoctor video consulting service will continue as normal for existing registered Patients but we can't at this time accept any new accounts. We're actively recruiting experienced GPs (RT's appreciated) #COVID19

A lot has happened since early March so perhaps it's time I made an update on the presentation I gave to @LondonFuturists on "What should we learn from the Covid-19 crisis?" mhealthinsight.com/2020/03/13/joi… #mHealth

GPs across the UK & Ireland should be outraged to learn that Limerick GP #DrPatMorrissey has lost his job in Ireland for giving this speech (Show your support by sharing it & giving him a follow @Dr_Morrissey). #FreeSpeech saves Lives.

A Special Apple Event starts in 20mins. Expect #mHealth announcements as this is their first event since governments the world over announced lockdown, NewNormal & started using mobile phones to track & isolate asymptomatic citizens, etc apple.com/apple-events/ #AppleEvent

Tomorrow I'm attending the #MarchforInnocence in Dublin. A generation of children have had access to sexual abuse videos on their mobiles & it's created a tsunami of mental health problems including #sexaddiction, #depression, brain disorders, etc. Time to do something #mHealth

14 years ago I launched @3gdoctor at a 'Mobile Monday' event in London. Fascinating experience & it's incredible that it took a global media panicdemic before Medics began to understand why it might be helpful for Patients to be able to connect with them remotely. #mHealth

If you can't go or won't go to #MobileWorldCongress why not join us instead for the "mHealth NOT @ MWC2020" webinar in London (starts at 10am on Monday 24 February 2020) mhealthinsight.com/2020/02/12/mhe…… #mHealth #MWC2020 #MWC20

In 2009 I predicted we were set to enter a decade that would be defined by the convergence of Mobile & Healthcare mhealthinsight.com/2010/01/05/200… As we enter the next decade it's sad to reflect back on how most of the impact on our health so far has been negative & psychological #mHealth

10 yrs ago I predicted that we were entering a decade that would be defined by the impact mobile would have on our health. Unfortunately it turned out it would have the most impact on our mental health & it would be mostly negative/harmful mhealthinsight.com/2010/01/05/200… #mHealth

In 2009 I predicted #mHealth would define this decade. Sadly most of the impact has been negative: "Never before in our history (indeed in all of human history) have children been given access to unlimited amounts of extreme pornographic imagery" @fotoole irishtimes.com/opinion/fintan…

Is it unreasonable to think that we shouldn't start talking about 'next generation GP' concepts until this generation of Doctors are allowed to use the supercomputers in their pockets? mhealthinsight.com/2017/05/15/if-… #RCGPAC19 #RCGPAC #mHealth

In 2019 a billion citizens carry super computers in their pockets. On World Mental Health Day perhaps it’s time we stopped saying you should “Go and Get Help”? mhealthinsight.com/2017/02/16/per… #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealth #mHealth

The world's biggest internet company (& leading illegal antibiotic retailer) is now promoting inappropriate Antibiotic use and no one (including major publishers like the Lancet) are questioning it... mhealthinsight.com/2019/09/27/ama… #mHealth

Amazon launch "Amazon Care" service offering "Your First Stop for Healthcare" a.k.a. Mobile Video Consults & augmentin prescriptions for acute sinusitis mhealthinsight.com/2019/09/27/ama… Join the discussion in the Linkedin #mHealth group linkedin.com/groups/1049717/

Many claim the future of #mHealth is about surgeons remotely operating on Patients via 5G network connected robots but I think it's more about healthcare services going #MobileFirst & giving a Billion+ citizens reassurance that they'll be ok if they fall mhealthinsight.com/2016/01/02/her…

Surveillance capitalism is disrupting Healthcare but who's looking out for Patients when Venture debt backed services they use are merely methods of collecting behavioural data that will be used to predict futures in a surveillance economy? theguardian.com/technology/201… #mHealth

How are governments able to get away with pretending it's impossible to restrict/prevent children watching & sharing videos of sexual abuse? Surely handset manufacturers & network operators have a duty of care to society? irishtimes.com/news/crime-and…

This week I'll be in Dublin attending the #Europaediatrics2019 Conference at @TheCCD. Register here europaediatrics2019.org Follow @Europaediatrics for updates etc. #mHealth

We may live in George Orwell's 1984 but when your mental health is in such a bad state that you're considering suicide you are expected to have to go to a Doctor who knows next to nothing about you (not even your name) mhealthinsight.com/2017/02/16/per… #mHealth

The @TheBMA & @rcgp both welcome call to put all doctors on workforce shortage list & plans to take Doctors from other countries gponline.com/bma-rcgp-welco… Why not prioritise doing more to help NHS Doctors to work at the top of their license? mhealthinsight.com/2016/03/04/the… #mHealth
