"The Personal Connected Health Alliance (PCHA) is at the forefront of health and wellness in today's society, driving advancements in mobile and communications technologies, and the growing use of new devices, health trackers and apps by consumers and healthcare providers."

"The mission of the Personal Connected Health Alliance is to facilitate the development and adoption of personal health solutions that foster independence and empower people to better manage their health and wellness from anywhere, at any time. Making health and wellness a convenient part of daily life through personal connected health technologies."

"PCHA is a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Continua, mHealth Summit and HIMSS, focused on engaging consumers with their health via personalized health solutions designed for user-friendly connectivity (interoperability) that meet their lifestyle needs. Bringing together the unique strengths, global reach and resources of its founding partners, PCHA is working to generate greater awareness, availability and access to plug-and-play, consumer-friendly personal health technologies to empower individuals to better manage their health and wellness, anywhere at any time.

The Alliance puts “consumer first” at the center of focus and promotes the global adoption, standardization and appropriate regulation of personal connected health devices and systems to empower people to self-manage their health, while creating stronger links between healthcare providers, consumers and their social networks. PCHA also works closely with regulators, government agencies and industry to create the technology 'ecosystem' required to deliver on the promise of personal connected health.

The Personal Connected Health Alliance is a global non-profit umbrella for the Continua and mHealth Summit, and an independent HIMSS organization."
