Big congratulations to Richi and Gulu for representing Taiwan at last week’s TechCrunch Disrupt Beijing. There’s a pretty neat rundown of the whole experience on Gulu’s blog here (for those that read Chinese). For everyone else, there’s TechOrange’s superb coverage here or, of course, TechCrunchitself. Enjoy!Also, if you didn’t know – Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt is in Taiwan this week, to talk about “Incredible Exploration.” For those that didn’t get a ticket (they went pretty fast), there’ll be video and audio added to the website later on.

For Newcomers: Taipei StartupDigest is an events list, curated by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, that is laser focused on the needs of startups in Taipei. We aim to bring you the best of what the tech community has to offer in Taipei and from time to time, across Taiwan. If it’s worth going to, you’ll find it here!

For newcomers: StartupDigest Health is the members-only weekly email newsletter of the best articles in the health technology industry.

You can become a member for free here.

This article reviews why mhealth is becoming important to the individual, the physician, and the hospital. From EHR integration to the use of mobile devices themselves, mHealth is playing a critical role in healthcare.

New mobile phones are getting new devices and attachments that create medical devices out of iPhones and Androids. The most appealing aspect is that, at a relatively low cost, an iPhone can perform the same function as high-end hospital gear. Simultaneously, they gain better reach by being accessible where hospital equipment wouldn’t otherwise — like third world countries and rural communities.

Well known physician opinion leader Dr. Bryan Vartabedian speaks about bridging the doctor-patients silo in cyber space. In this article, Dr. V explains why it’s important to bring together physicians into the center of the online conversation, give them an opportunity to connect with patients, and also to “Peer Review” one another to create higher quality of information available to both patients and physicians.

While there are often promising ideas in Health IT, many of them fail to take hold. What really determines the success of an idea is its ability to impact the future of the economy, improve the process of healthcare and reduce healthcare costs. CEO and President of California HealthCare Foundation shares his recommendations to healthcare innovators.
