Health applications for mobile and wearable devices continue to experience tremendous growth both in the commercial and research sectors, but their impact on healthcare has yet to be fully realized. This commentary introduces three articles in a special issue that provides guidance on how to successfully address translational barriers to bringing mobile health technologies into clinical research and care. We also discuss how the cross-organizational sharing of data, software, and other digital resources can lower such barriers and accelerate progress across mobile health.
移动和可穿戴设备的健康应用在商业和研究领域都持续经历着巨大的增长,但它们对医疗保健的影响尚未得到充分实现。本评论介绍了一期特刊中的三篇文章,这些文章为如何成功克服将移动健康技术引入临床研究和护理的转化障碍提供了指导。我们还讨论了数据、软件和其他数字资源的跨组织共享如何能够降低此类障碍并加速移动健康领域的进展。
