CHDS affiliated faculty Soroush Saghafian and co-author Susan Murphy of Harvard’s Departments of Statistics and Computer Science described scientific and regulatory challenges facing Mobile Health (mHealth) interventions in a recent National Academy of Medicine (NAM) article.
“[mHealth and digital health interventions] are commonly used to deliver interventions in a self-service and personalized manner, reducing the demands on providers and lifting limitations on the locations in which care can be delivered,” they wrote.
