Searching for mobile technology topics can be challenging due to the varying terminology and the cross disciplinary nature of the search terms. This information seeking starter kit provides some basic, structured literature search strategies to get you started.  The strategies are not meant to be comprehensive, but are designed to be a flexible launching pad for literature discovery.

MTC focuses on consumer-grade, over-the-counter wearable and nearable devices with potential clinical applications. We concentrate on study management platforms from vetted vendors, although we can refer researchers to other resources when necessary.

This article will help researchers plan for and overcome technology access challenges in the planning phase of their study.

Hiring the right person for any position can be challenging, but this is especially true for research teams involved in mobile health (mHealth) studies. These projects often require a unique skill set to handle data management and technical hurdles that differ significantly from traditional research support roles. In this article, we explore the necessity of hiring the right technical support person for your research team, and what types of questions you should ask.

Understanding the technology elements for a study utilizing wearable and mobile technologies will assist researchers during the study planning process in several ways.

- Build a more accurate study budget.
- Develop a Data Management & Sharing Plan, which can be a requirement for funders and journal submissions.
- Prepare for regulatory and compliance processes, like an Information Assurance (IA) review, if needed

This article provides general IRB guidance for investigators planning to include mobile apps, mobile devices, and other mobile technologies in human health research. It is not intended to address all aspects of an IRB review, only those related to mobile technologies.
