The focus of this mini-track is to address the challenges of the rapidly evolving mobile health (mHealth) field. As the mHealth landscape evolves quickly, consumers and practitioners alike are incorporating mobile devices and sensors into their daily routines in ways that were not possible just a couple of years ago. Although thousands of mobile apps present a path to significant health improvements, often in areas of critical health concern, a far smaller number are built on an evidence base of scientific data and established care guidelines, or are verified before being widely implemented. Fewer still are tested for efficacy, effectiveness, or other measures. This not only leaves healthcare professionals and consumers vulnerable to unprooven methods, but it crowds out potentially useful novel approaches.The need is pressing for mHealth applications that are evaluated with rigor in order to bring about meaningful change to the way health care is delivered. Yet, there is a parallel need for methods of evaluation across the design, development, and implementation continuum that do not hamper innovation and take into account the fast pace of technological change.
