Mobile Health Technology Diffusion Grants Program
The Center for Technology and Aging (the Center) is pleased to announce its Mobile Health (mHealth) Diffusion Grants Program. The Center is interested in funding projects that will focus on the adoption and diffusion of mobile health technology-enabled services to improve the health of older adults, while reducing the burden on clinicians and caregivers. As many as six one-year grants will be awarded for up to $100,000 each from the $500,000 grant program. Awarded projects are expected to commence in August 2011.
The Center is undertaking this initiative as the mHealth field is rapidly growing and demonstrating significant potential to improve care processes, expand access to care, augment other home care technologies, and reduce the costs of care.
Applicants should describe an evidence-based or a theory-based model underlying the project. Grant programs will address how mHealth technologies impact older adults, caregivers and providers, and the benefits related to the treatment of chronic conditions, improvement in socialization and communication, and enhanced monitoring. mHealth technology-enabled services that can be addressed in this grants program include medication compliance, chronic disease monitoring, safety monitoring, access to health information, and other related areas.
