The Research and Diagnostic Tools Track presents research on the application of mobile technologies to improving screening and diagnostics, monitoring participants in clinical research studies, and utilizing mobile technologies for population surveillance and emergency response. The track includes a session describing results from the NIH Gene, Environment, and Health Initiative, and a session on the mHealth Evidence workshop, a workshop in August, 2011 to identify more effective methods to generate evidence of efficacy and effectiveness for the emerging science of mobile health (mHealth). |

mHealth Evidence Workshop Report
National and global scientists, policymakers, health professionals, technologists, and representatives from regulatory and funding agencies gathered on August 16, 2011 for the mHealth Evidence Workshop to discuss and identify more effective methods to generate evidence of efficacy and effectiveness for the emerging science of mobile health (mHealth). The meeting was sponsored by the Pioneer program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the McKesson Foundation, the Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences and National Heart, Lung and Blood Institutes at the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. Session presentations will describe the discussion and recommendations from the mHealth Evidence Workshop.
