MRI: Development of ScaleMed: A Platform for Scalable mHealth Research and Development

该项目设计和开发开源工具“ScaleMed”，旨在加速移动健康技术从实验室原型到大规模临床试验的发展。该工具影响了医疗保健领域，这是目前最大的社会挑战之一。通过提供一种简化的方法来包括各种设备，该仪器将为该领域做出重大贡献。使用符合开放标准的协议，ScaleMed将有助于为新的大规模临床试验打开大门，并降低技术壁垒。由于基础设施将是开源的，并将作为社区资源，其影响将随着用户群体的增加而扩大。最后，教育和推广计划肯定会产生很大的影响，在移动健康的关键领域。该工具由三个部分组成：硬件适配器;医疗应用模块，库和模板;云控制和管理。该工具将作为开放源代码向整个社区提供。预计将在目前由PI领导的三个移动健康项目中立即部署：SOLVD：基于智能手机的抑郁症跟踪系统; mobileVision，基于智能手机的视网膜成像仪;以及mobileSpiro，便携式个性化肺活量计。

This project, designing and developing 'ScaleMed', an open-source instrument, aims to accelerate the progression of mHealth technologies from lab prototypes to at-scale clinical trials. The instrument impacts the area of healthcare, currently one of the biggest societal challenges. By providing a streamlined method to include diverse devices, the instrument will make significant contributions to the field. Using open-standards-compliant protocols, ScaleMed will help open doors to new at-scale clinical trials and lower the technology barrier. Since the infrastructure will be open-source and will serve as a community resource, its impact will scale with its user populations. Finally, the educational and outreach plan will certainly have a high impact, in the critical area of mHealth.The instrument consists of three components: Hardware Adaptor; Medical Application Modules, Libraries and Templates; and Cloud Control and Management. The instrument will be available as open-source to the entire community. Its immediate deployment is foreseen in three mHealth projects currently led by the PIs: SOLVD: a smartphone based tracking systems for conditions of depression; mobileVision, a smartphone based retinal imager; and mobileSpiro, a portable personalized spirometer.
