Mobile Health: 2009 State of the Industry Year-end Report (Free)
It’s clear now that 2009 was a big year for wireless health. In many ways it was this industry’s break out year.

Likewise, twice as many venture capital investments (10) were announced in the second half of 2009, than were announced in the first half (five) of the year. (We suspect a good number were just kept quiet.)
