The BIDMC mHealth Initiative

mHealth stands for mobile-based or mobile-enhanced solutions that deliver health. The ubiquity of mobile devices in the developed or developing world presents the opportunity to improve health outcomes through the delivery of innovative medical and health services with information and communication technologies to the farthest reaches of the globe.

We are interested in improving health care delivery to patients with dementia and other cognitive impairment from their initial assessments and diagnosis, to longitudinal monitoring, along with with intervention and therapy and we belive the development, adaptation, and implementation of mobile technology is the best way to go about it.

Our Goal is to is to develop the next generation of technologically advanced sensors to monitor safety, smartphone devices to track movement, and mobile apps to monitor cognition of patients.
