Back in February at Mobile World Congress, much of the buzz was focussed on the Internet of Things, data, wearables and smart devices with so much of the exhibition and discussion noticeably shifted to capture the array of things that mobile now enables.  Connected cars, health bands, smartwatches – even bow-ties and cuff-links were featured on one of the many Samsung stands.

mHealth is also a category in this year’s Meffys awards, the global benchmark for measuring commercial success and rewarding innovation across the mobile ecosystem. There’s still time to enter here.
