AT&T Developer Center ForHealth
Most of today’s mobile health (mHealth) applications are limited in their ability to access and share information because the data are siloed in disparate, proprietary systems that are hard to integrate. To break down these data silos, AT&T has launched the AT&T Developer Center ForHealth under the AT&T ForHealth practice. Based on an open set of developer tools and infrastructure, the app is expected to streamline, accelerate, and lower costs in the development, deployment, and management of enterprise-grade mHealth applications. In addition, the Developer Center is expected to create an ecosystem where disparate applications can link together, at the direction of the healthcare consumer, to create a more complete, accessible, and personalized healthcare experience.
