Ideally, the project should be scalable, so that it grows along the time and continues interesting the experts. If/when successful, the solution could be expanded to the full HL7 Working Groups.

The project must be sufficiently simple not to require registering cell phone number of experts or other heavy administrative work.

Data capture will then only document expert’s participation to every mHealth WG session (quarter). Participation list will be generated from this information. Is this sufficient for a first phase? Shall we immediately add the next phase to make the project attractive?

Possibly the best is to generate an with attachments so that the ordering occurs through the mobile device, and the reception on a regular computer.

In a first run, the GS1 GSRN will be assigned in demonstration mode to a limited number of participants.
