   International Conference on Global Health

   Ambassador Ballroom
   Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, D.C.
   Get Smart:  Technology and Community Health
   Relax,  enjoy  refreshments,  and  learn  how  technology  is changing
   community
   health. In developing countries, low-cost mobile computing devices can
   help
   overcome  challenges  such  as  unreliable  power,  low bandwidth, and
   scarce
   resources.  New "social media" offer opportunities for community
   mobilization and education.
   Experts from the AED-SATELLIFE Center for Health Information and
   Technology and the AED Center for Health Communication will introduce
   cutting-edge computing and connectivity approaches for health and
   development.
   Get hands-on demonstrations of PDAs, GPS, and other new communication
   tools, and see how social media can be leveraged.  A PDA loaded with
   HIV/AIDS  treatment  information  will  be  raffled.   All  conference
   attendees
   are welcome.
