Enteric Disease Mobile Health (mHealth) Web Series March 1

mHealth Live-Learning Series

Mobile health (mHealth) refers to the use of mobile and wireless devices to improve health outcomes, healthcare services, and health research.  This rapidly growing, fast-paced field can involve the use of mobile applications, mobile communications, mobile sensors, mobile devices, and/or mobile data.

Join the Integrated Food Safety Centers of Excellence for two one-hour webinars as we discuss the various ways mHealth is being integrated into enteric disease case investigations. Topics will include successes, lessons learned, and challenges to implementation. Participants will have ample time for questions.
