移动医疗 (mHealth) 技术有可能对健康研究、医疗保健和健康结果产生巨大影响，但该技术的指数增长已经超过了科学的发展速度。本文概述了旨在增强移动医疗科学性的两项举措。移动医疗证据研讨会利用专家小组来确定移动医疗研究的最佳方法。 NIH 移动医疗培训机构解决了移动医疗研究中许多学术和技术领域之间的孤岛问题，并致力于建设该领域的跨学科研究能力。两者都满足了美国和国际上对高质量移动健康研究日益增长的需求。移动医疗需要一种可靠的、跨学科的科学方法，将与技术进步相关的快速变化与严格的评估方法结合起来。移动医疗证据研讨会和 NIH 移动医疗培训机构均旨在解决并进一步发展这种移动医疗科学方法。
Mobile health (mHealth) technologies have the potential to greatly impact health research, health care, and health outcomes, but the exponential growth of the technology has outpaced the science. This article outlines two initiatives designed to enhance the science of mHealth. The mHealth Evidence Workshop used an expert panel to identify optimal methodological approaches for mHealth research. The NIH mHealth Training Institutes address the silos among the many academic and technology areas in mHealth research and is an effort to build the interdisciplinary research capacity of the field. Both address the growing need for high quality mobile health research both in the United States and internationally. mHealth requires a solid, interdisciplinary scientific approach that pairs the rapid change associated with technological progress with a rigorous evaluation approach. The mHealth Evidence Workshop and the NIH mHealth Training Institutes were both designed to address and further develop this scientific approach to mHealth.
