Mobile Health (mHealth) research is focused on the use of social media, smartphone devices, tablets, web sites, sensors, wearables and/or other remote technology to measure and improve health research and outcomes.
To foster collaboration at WUSTL, the Institute for Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) established the mHealth Research Core in partnership with the Institute for Informatics (I2), the Healthcare Innovation Lab and the Healthy Mind Lab. mHealth is widespread and understudied relative to its importance and potential.
Vision
Enhance mobile health (mHealth) Research at Washington University
Mission
The mHealth Research Core (MHRC) is an informal group of researchers working together to:
- Move from the idea phase to a funded grant
- Reduce barriers to successful implementation
- Establish an open-source cumulative body of knowledge and expertise
