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 capture, measure, and improve health research and outcomes.
The mHealth Research Core is an interdisciplinary group of researchers aiming to enhance and promote mHealth research here at WashU.
Mobile Health (mHealth) research is focused on the use of social media, smartphone devices, tablets, websites, sensors, wearables and/or other remote technology to capture, measure, and improve health research and outcomes.
We are supported by the Institute of Clinical and Translational Sciences (ICTS) and were originally established by the Healthy Mind Lab during the COVID-19 pandemic, which served as a catalyst for change with regard to interest in and need for mHealth research supports, both across the world and here at WashU. We continue to partner with several service corps and departments such as the Institute for Informatics, Data Science, Biostatistics (I2DB), The Center for Clinical Services (CCS), and the Health Innovation Lab to create an open-source cumulative body of knowledge and expertise on mHealth research.
We provide assistance primarily through case consults and ICTS-funded Just-In-Time (JIT) Core Services. We can:
- Provide consultation regarding your mHealth-related grant applications
- Support implementation of your mHealth research ideas
- Reduce your barriers to successful implementation of mHealth research
- Point you to relevant resources for your mHealth-related research (both within and outside of the university) such as our internal Information Technology Services, REDCap, and Institutional Review Board – but also federal NIH and FDA resources.
