With 5 million connected cars expected to be sold in China in 2018, this workshop looks beyond today’s limited offerings to the steps being taken by network operators and vehicle manufacturers to enable high bandwidth and value-added services, for example; the remotely provisionable SIM, and charging and billing management. This session will also focus on the work being done to generate the critical mass for consumer services, such as in vehicle apps, tethering and big data, all of which are forecast to enable operator revenues of more than 18 billion RMBs in China in 2018.

Affecting more than 370 million people worldwide, diabetes is a major public health problem. The Western Pacific region accounts for 132 million of these people, and this figure is set to rise to 188 million by 2030. Better disease management could prevent 1.7 million unnecessary deaths in this region, where, even though serious and costly complications from diabetes are often preventable, USD 72.2 billion was spent last year on diabetes treatment.Remote patient monitoring is not only a very effective tool for diabetes management, it has also been identified as the greatest revenue opportunity for mobile health solutions. The GSMA mDiabetes Campaign, in partnership with our members, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the World Health Organisation (WHO), is working to ensure that mobile health solutions for diabetes - clinically meaningful and financially viable - are developed and implemented in the Western Pacific region.This session will bring together key stakeholders in the mDiabetes collaboration to review progress thus far, set out the challenges of the near future, and invite participation.
