As the use of PROs in both research and routine patient care has grown, so has the use of mobile technologies (such as smartphones, tablet computers, and portable or wearable medical devices). These technologies, known collectively as “mobile health” or “mHealth” devices present a wide array of challenges and opportunities for medical research. The links below provide access to a series of short video segments on mHealth technologies that were adapted from a larger web seminar sponsored by AcademyHealth and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and used here with kind permission from AcademyHealth:

• Monitoring Adherence
• Tools for Collecting mHealth Data
• Using mHealth Data in Health Services Research
• Integrating PRO Data into Health Services Research
• Privacy and Security
• What Is Learning Healthcare?
• Intensive Longitudinal Data
• mHealth Data Visualization
• Chordoma mHealth Registry
• Leveraging Mobile Health Solutions
• Studying Opioid Use in Older Adults
• The CHESS Experience
• Finding Funding for mHealth Development
