10 Cell Phone Clinical Trials

MobiHealthNews collected up the details of 10 clinical trials being conducted using mobile telephones. The studies are sponsored by a number of different Companies and institutions and in a range of therapy areas.


The U.S. National Institutes of Health has an online database called ClinicalTrials.gov that includes a registry of federally and privately supported clinical trials underway or completed. The database currently boasts more than 81,000 clinical trials from some 170 countries. As you might expect a couple dozen of those trials are testing wireless health solutions — mostly mobile phone applications — and their efficacy on health outcomes. MobiHealthNews rounded up 10 mobile phone-equipped clinical trials conducted by numerous academic institutions, world governments and big brand healthcare companies like AstraZeneca.

It is often said that wireless health solutions and healthcare mobile applications will not secure reimbursement or market uptake until they are proven to produce positive health outcomes. In the pages that follow, we have collected the studies underway or completed that are evaluating wireless health. Mine them for partners, processes and applications — and be sure to give us your take on the solutions in these trials — do they represent what’s market ready? Do they point to the future of wireless health?
