MOBIO Café Meeting is an interactive session. It offers opportunities to participants to ask any questions freely just as was the case at April 22 meeting. Whenever technology was explained by the exhibitors, a lot of suggestions were mentioned by the participants: "It may be used for this purpose" or "It would be improved by this way."
