Mhealth Support System For Researchers And Participants, Taskina Fayezeen

Master's Theses (2009 -)

With the proliferation of mobile technologies, there is a significant increase of research using mobile devices in the medical and public health area. Mobile technology has improved the efficiency of healthcare delivery effectively. Mobile Health or mHealth is an interdisciplinary research area which has been active for more than a decade. Much research has been conducted and many software research tools (mHealth Support System) have been developed. Despite the time length, there is a significant gap in the mHealth research area regarding software research tools. Individual research groups are developing their own software research tool though there is a significant …


Health In Your Hand: Assessment Of Clinicians’ Readiness To Adopt Mhealth Into Rural Patient Care, Bryan Weichelt May 2016

Health In Your Hand: Assessment Of Clinicians’ Readiness To Adopt Mhealth Into Rural Patient Care, Bryan Weichelt

Theses and Dissertations

Introduction: Technology is as much rural as it is urban, but mobile health (mHealth) could have a unique impact on health and quality of life for rural populations. The adoption of mobile technologies has soared in recent decades leading to new possibilities for mHealth use. This project considers the impact of these technologies on rural populations. Specifically, it is focused on assessing the barriers of physicians and healthcare organizations to adopt mHealth into their care plans. Gaps in knowledge exist in assessing organizational readiness for mHealth adoption, the use of patient-reported data, and the impact on rural healthcare. This project …


Developing A Framework For Creating Mhealth Surveys, Veli Melih Bilen Apr 2016

Developing A Framework For Creating Mhealth Surveys, Veli Melih Bilen

Master's Theses (2009 -)

Various issues in the design of surveys for mobile health (mHealth) research projects yet exist. As mHealth solutions become more popular, new issues are brought into consideration. Researchers need to collect some critical information from participants in these mHealth studies. These mHealth studies require a specialized framework to create surveys, track progress and analyze user data. In these procedures, mHealth’s needs differ from other studies. Therefore, there has to be a new framework that satisfies needs of mHealth research studies. Although there are studies for creating efficient, robust and user-friendly surveys, there is no solution or study, which is specialized …
