Issues in Mobile Health Panel
Robyn Whittaker*, Mark Carroll, Barbara Mittleman, Wendy Nilsen*

Mobile phones have had the most rapid uptake of any technology to date. mHealth, and specifically the use of mobile phones for health interventions, is a relatively new field receiving a lot of attention. Research has shown some benefit with respect to smoking cessation, medication reminders, and the management of long-term conditions between clinic visits. Robyn Whittaker has been involved in developing, testing and implementing mobile phone population health interventions in New Zealand. In...

Using Mobile Technologies in Health Research at NIH
Wendy Nilsen*

This session will focus on funding and training opportunities for mobile health technologies at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The use of mobile technologies to more rapidly and accurately assess and modify behavior, biological states and contextual variables (e.g., current activities, mood, and environmental factors), has the potential to improve health and transform how health research is conducted. In addition, these technological advances can also help elucidate mechanisms under...

Generating Evidence in MHealth
Wendy Nilsen*

This session will focus on current issues in developing the empirical base for mHealth applications. The use of mobile technologies to more rapidly and accurately assess and modify behavior, biological states and contextual variables (e.g., current activities, mood, and environmental factors), has the potential to improve health and transform how health research is conducted. In addition, these technological advances can also help elucidate mechanisms underlying health and behavior change. F...
