NBER: Fwd: NIH mHealth Training Opportunity at the mHealth Summit
Fwd: NIH mHealth Training Opportunity at the mHealth Summit
>To: Members of Aging and Health Care Programs
You may be interested in the following training
opportunity, designed "to provide behavioral and
social scientists tools to successfully add
mobile health technologies to their research in a
collaborative team environment with mentorship
from leaders in the fields of engineering,
medicine and the behavioral and social
sciences." Registration is limited, and opens on
August 20th. The NIH mHealth Training Institute
takes place on December 1 and 2, 2012.

>The National Institutes of Health (NIH), in
>collaboration with mHIMSS, will host the NIH
>mHealth Training Institute at the 2012 mHealth
>Summit on December 1st and 2nd. The mHealth
>Institute is designed to provide behavioral and
>social scientists tools to successfully add
>mobile health technologies to their research in
>a collaborative team environment with mentorship
>from leaders in the fields of engineering,
>medicine and the behavioral and social sciences.
>
>This two-day Institute will provide participants
>with an overview of the central
>multidisciplinary aspects of mobile and wireless
>research. The training will follow a project
>from conception through dissemination led by a
>panel of experts. Participants will be involved
>in didactic sessions targeting major
>cross-cutting research issues and
>interdisciplinary team exercises developing mHealth research projects.
>
>Using mobile technologies to more rapidly and
>accurately assess and modify behavior,
>biological states and contextual variables has
>great potential to transform health research.
>Recent advances in mobile technologies and the
>ubiquitous nature of these technologies in daily
>life (e.g., smart phones, sensors) have created
>opportunities for behavioral and social sciences
>research applications that were not previously
>possible (e.g., simultaneously assessing
>behavioral, physiological, and psychological
>states in the real world and in real-time). The
>use of mobile technology affords numerous
>methodological advantages over traditional
>methods, including reduced memory bias, the
>ability to capture time-intensive longitudinal
>data, date- and time-stamped data, and the
>potential for personalizing information in
>real-time. However, challenges in mobile health (or mHealth) research exist.
>
>Importantly, much of the work being done in
>mHealth arises from single disciplines without
>integration of the behavioral, social sciences
>and clinical research fields. Without
>integration, mobile technologies will not be
>maximally effective. The NIH mHealth Training
>Institute addresses these scientific silos by
>bringing together scientists from diverse fields
>to enhance the quality of mHealth research.
>
>Topics include:
>Development
>
>What are the steps of development? Who is on
>your team, and what do they need to know to help you?
>Design
>
>Designing well so you can make something that
>people will use it and it will be secure.
>Assessment
>
>How and when to sample? Balancing burden, battery life and data tsunamis.
>Methodology
>
>Designs to evaluate mHealth in the fast-paced world of technology.
>Evolution
>
>Missing data, machine learning, longitudinal
>data analysis, modeling and visualization
>
>
>
>Dissemination & Implementation
>
>Getting your work out there, including
>commercialization and partnership with industry.
