Here are some of the ways by which a Mobile Global Health Supercourse could develop.  We are pushing the Supercourse lectures into mobiles with a Supercourse app.  We have published several papers on Mobile technology and surveillance, not only for infectious diseases, but also chronic diseases. Linking a Supercourse App, with Iphones and pico projectors provides teaching technologies for even the remotes regions.  With Mobile technology we can reach into intelligent networks to find help.  One of the major concerns in disasters is that of habitability of houses. We are collaborating with the International association of certified house inspectors, to relay Cell pictures to a disaster reading center for houses to make judgments about habitability. In China they presented our infectious disease lectures to millions of people on TV.  We have developed a global health lecture that is being distributed to all the medical and public health schools.  The Mobile technology is ideal for providing rapid scientific knowledge at the time of a disaster.  Both those in academia and business believe that we can improve the health of the world.  We now have the opportunity to do global health surveys over mobiles.
