Health Goes Mobile
It's not hard to find an example of technology being used for better health: just look around and you're likely to see someone
wearing a bracelet that tracks everything from steps taken to calories consumed. So how can this movement toward mobile health be harnessed by the research community? Find out September 30 - October 1 at Mobile
Health: The Power of Wearables, Sensors, and Apps to Transform Clinical Trials. Continuous
health monitoring using wearable sensors, mobile devices, and apps is becoming a powerful tool for assessing critical physiological parameters. The vast accumulation of real-time biometric data obtained from these technologies may hold invaluable clues for
treating some of the most devastating human diseases.
