Research
Over 700 mobile health clinics have joined Mobile Health Map to date, and the number is growing every day.
Mobile Health Map is both a collaborative network and research community all in one. It allows mobile health clinics to easily analyze their own impact while at the same time contributing to a broader pool of data. Mobile Health Map then aggregates the data across clinics to study the impact of the mobile health sector as a whole. Mobile Health Map provides an online portal complete with analysis tools, research, best practice resources and opportunities to connect with peers across the country to advocate broadly in support of mobile health services.
The following is a list of our academic publications & presentations pertinent to this field. A more complete literature review on the evidence base for mobile health clinics is available at the Mobile Health Map, www.mobilehealthmap.org.
